He was murdered

[edit]

I'm told Conway was murdered/assassinated at home by republican opponents in the twentieth century. His son left Ireland as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.249.184.203 (talk) 12:47, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A citation to a reliable source that describes the circumstances of his death would be good to have for the article. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin closure)

– The current Michael Conway (politician) title seems ambiguous, as it could refer to either of these men. Both of them are Irish, so including "Irish" in "Irish senator" doesn't seem to assist the disambiguation, unless "Irish" is taken to refer only the Republic of Ireland. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 19:38, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the MP, I would suggest either Michael Conway (MP) or Michael Conway (Irish Nationalist MP), as this is the more common disambiguator used. Spleodrach (talk) 08:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you oppose the second move? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support alt Michael Conway (MP) for first and support for second. estar8806 (talk) 19:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain why we should use a different disambiguator for him than for every other politician. For politicians of the United Kingdom, we use for disambiguation, in descending order of preference, (politician), (British politician), ([English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Northern Irish] politician), ([party] politician), and only finally ([constituency] MP). We never use simply (MP). This is a longstanding convention. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
