Talk:Magnus Haraldsson (son of Harald Gille)

Renamings
I've noticed that the article has been renamed twice after I created it (originally as "Magnus Haraldsson of Norway"), first to "Magnus Haraldsson (1135)", then to "Magnus Haraldsson (1135–1145)". One of my biggest issues with the latest renamings is that the years for Magnus' years of birth and death are pure estimates. I still think the original naming was the best option, despite the fact that there were two kings with the name. I don't think it matters that Magnus II of Norway has the same name, when his article use his regnal number anyway. If this article used its original name, the problem would easily be fixed by adding a disambiguation note at the top, for example This article is about the 12th century king, for the 11th century king see Magnus II of Norway.

Magnus Haraldsson (1135–1145) → Magnus Haraldsson of Norway — Per User:Thhist explanation above which I have italicize below.

Also we have Olaf Magnusson of Norway and Haakon Magnusson of Norway.--The Emperor&#39;s New Spy (talk) 01:57, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Beyond the valid points mentioned by The Emperor's New Spy and, by consequence Thhist, natural disambiguation seems more appropriate in this instance.--Labattblueboy (talk) 02:49, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
