Propose move

[edit]

(copied from User_talk:MilborneOne) I came across René Leduc (1898–1968) and should be able to expand it quite usefully. It seems to me that the article title convention is unusual for a bio article, thought I would check with you before moving it as you are more au fait with bio articles. It should be René Leduc (engineer) I think or probably better just plain René Leduc as there seems to be nobody else with this name on WP at the moment, might need moving over the redirect.

It appears that it was renamed because of the possibilty of two Leducs:

René Leduc re-directs to René Leduc (1898–1968) as the other article does not exist. I think that (engineer) is better (as per the French wiki) but can we find out anything about the other Leduc? MilborneOne (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, it's normally subsequent articles that carry the disambiguator though isn't it? No strong feeling, it just looked unusual. Perhaps we need an article on the second guy then?!! Have they covered him at wiki:fr? You learn something every day here!! Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 17:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like RL moved it originally (must have had a good reason) and someone else moved it (took me a while to work out that was due to the wrong kind of dash being used!!). There is a French mayor of the same name (I suppose it is a relatively common name over there) but there was nothing on the other guy that I could see with my schoolboy French skills!!

May be best for now to move it to (engineer) at least it will not look wrong.MilborneOne (talk) 17:36, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, should paste this on the talk page I suppose as there is nothing there at all and the move edit summaries could have been longer, would also allow for objections but I can't see that there would be any. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 17:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
