Talk:William Beale (college head)

Merger proposal
The two articles William Beale (college head) and William Beale (priest) present different aspects of the same person. --Lambiam 04:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support merger - same person. That said, there is little in this article that isn’t already in the “college head” article. As a follow up… do we need the parenthetical disambiguation post merger? Blueboar (talk) 11:50, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There is already an article with the title William Beale about a different person, a musician. --Lambiam 22:30, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment, please note that in the article List of Archdeacons of Carmarthen, there is a priest with a very similar name just before our subject: "1616–>1640 William Beeley", according to British History source this Beely become Archdeacon in 1615 and Beale in 1923. I find rare that the first one held the position just eight years. So possibly we (and the sources) are confusing this two people. Alexcalamaro (talk) 06:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No confusion; they are the same person:
 * It is unclear what source(s) "1616–>1640" is based on. --Lambiam 11:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
