Samuel Atkinson → ? – Having just promoted long-serving Georgia Supreme Court justice Samuel C. Atkinson to mainspace (and taking into account the existence of Sam Atkinson), I doubt the 17th century short-serving member of parliament remains the primary topic of this title.

 * Support Samuel Atkinson → Samuel Atkinson (MP). Category:Members of the Parliament of England (pre-1707) confirms that a number of them are disambiguated via the parenthetical qualifier "(MP)". The two-sentence stub delineating the MP, who died more than 300 years ago, validates that he is definitely not primary. Best to create a Samuel Atkinson disambiguation page that would list Samuel Atkinson (MP), Samuel C. Atkinson as well as Sam Atkinson. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Samuel Atkinson (Harwich MP). The constituency is less ambiguous than just "MP". -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Samuel Atkinson (MP) over Samuel Atkinson (Harwich MP). "MP" is not ambiguous (though I'm not thrilled about using an initialism in the title). Graham (talk) 00:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not ambiguous to British people. It might be ambiguous to others. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * More so than "Harwich MP", if there is only one MP with the name? (I should note that I have never lived in the UK.) Graham (talk) 17:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
