George Ponsonby (disambiguation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nominate for deletion This is an unnecessary disambiguation page and clutter. There is a hatnote on the primary page to the only other entry. The reason for the removal of the prod was: ''The problem is that both he and George Ponsonby (politician) were politicians. This means that the disambiguator for the latter is misleading. The proposed changes (including the "prod" on this article) might be appropriate, but first we need a better disambiguator for the "politician". Alternatively, a much more precise hatnote is required. Peterkingiron.'' I believe the hatnotes I've now added are quite lengthy and clear: AT THE PRIMARY PAGE: For the Hon. George Ponsonby (1773 – 1863), see George Ponsonby (politician). AT THE ONLY OTHER ENTRY: For George Ponsonby (1755 – 1817), Lord Chancellor of Ireland and member of the Privy Council, see George Ponsonby. I looked through the article for what the differences were before creating the hatnotes (though someone who knows these bios better may be able to improve them). Both were Anglo-Irish politicians, so George Ponsonby seems to be the more notable and thus is rightly at the primary page and George Ponsonby (politician) couldn't have any other disambiguator really, from my investigations. I think that the hatnotes are now detailed enough; perhaps more relevantly, there is nothing on the disambiguation page which is not covered on the hatnotes now.

 * Oppose until a more appropriate disambiguator is found for George Ponsonby (politician). When that is done, deltion will be unobjectionable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as unnecessary (Changing vote as the "politician" has been moved). Peterkingiron (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
