Fernanda Ferreira (cognitive psychologist) → Fernanda Ferreira (psychologist) – As per WP:CONCISE and WP:NCPDAB, there is no need to disambiguate the article name by saying "(cognitive psychologist)" rather than just "(psychologist)". There is no other psychologist article with a matching name. Kj cheetham (talk) 15:18, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

More precise disambiguation would be psycholinguist or cognitive scientist. Brooks patty (talk)

My point is there is no need to be more precise. It should be a concise, commonly used tag. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:38, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the articles and can understand the position you have laid out. However, the use of cognitive psychologist, or psycholinguist or cognitive scientist is not to make it more precise or as a simple disambiguation, it is to be less incorrect. Changing/removing the word "cognitive" is much akin to having a neuroscientist listed as "scientist," or "biologist," or listing a psychiatrist as "doctor" as neuroscience and psychiatry may branch from their respective fields, they are fields unto themselves. To mitigate the difference, ignores the distinction. If there is a need for a more commonly used tag, then let's do the work of adding something that was missing from Wikipedia's knowledge pool. GCJDavis4 (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is simple disambiguation. The purpose of the tag is distinguish from the other people with the same name at Fernanda Ferreira. I wouldn't object to just (scientist). This is just about the article naming, it is not the same principle as the lede sentance or categories. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you look at Category:Cognitive psychologists you will see even there only (psychologist) is used as a tag. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No need to be more precise. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The current disambiguator is excessive. The proposed name is in no way less incorrect as claimed above, just the opposite... this extra information belongs in the article, not the article title. Andrewa (talk) 04:18, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So this RM is the culmination of a move war, of which those histories are just part of the story. The author referred to by Þjarkur appears to be GCJDavis4. Andrewa (talk) 04:15, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For clarity, wasn't a move war but just one move and one revert. Had been trying to move "( cognitive" to "(cognitive" by going through the labyrinth of leftover redirects. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:56, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
