Talk:Sir Hector Og Maclean, 15th Chief

Move/Merge pages
I propose we move this page to Hector Og Maclean and merge in any useful stuff from Hector Og Maclean, 15th Clan Chief as this has the older history. Using Hector Og Maclean is precise enough unless another notable Hector Og Maclean exists. --PBS (talk) 13:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure that they are synonyms. I think they are best kept apart and if you think there is a connection you can say "Hector MacLean, 5th Baron of Duart" who may be the same person as "Hector Og Maclean, 15th Clan Chief" and then list the source that you feel links them. That is the way I handle similar people that may be the same. Currently we have separate sources for each where the references use the exact names as they appear in the title of the article. Remember if we make a mistake it will be repeated from this day forward. I have asked the present day clan archivist to look over the article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I see that you have redirected this page to Hector Og Maclean, 15th Clan Chief. --PBS (talk) 11:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I have merged the histories of Hector MacLean, 5th Baron of Duart and Hector Og MacLean, 15th Clan Chief, as we agree they were one and the same person. --PBS (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

move to Hector Og MacLean
Unless there is more than one notable figure called Hector Og MacLean we do not need to add ", 15th Clan Chief", so I propose we move the article to Hector Og Maclean we also need to discuss whether it should be "MacLean" or "Maclean" (Naming conventions (precision). --PBS (talk) 12:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point, agreed. I don't think we need "XXth Clan Chief" on any of these articles. From the 17th century on the chiefs were baronets, so the precedence in baronetcy easily differences them.--Celtus (talk) 05:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Neither do I think we need of Duart in the page name unless there is more than one notable figure called Hector Og MacLean. --PBS (talk) 10:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Baron
He was also known as "Hector Maclean, 5th Baron of Duart" but counting back doesn't lead to anyone that would properly called the 1st Baron of Duart or even the 1st Laird of Duart. Any ideas? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Hector Og Maclean, 15th Chief → Sir Hector Og Maclean, 15th Chief — for consistency within the chiefs, of the three Hector Og Macleans only one was "Sir"--Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:58, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
