Talk:Fitzroy

Please stop changing the redirect. We already have an article on this person. RickK 23:58, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

RickK, thanks for letting me know. I found it now. It´s not obvious, though, that the page already exists, since the Fitzroy page automatically redirects to the Victoria page, without giving the second option to look at the Robert FitzRoy page. It would be great to have that option, to link the two pages from the Fitzroy main page. There are probably readers who are searching for Robert FitzRoy, and don´t know his first name, so they do a Fitzroy search and end up with the Victoria page. The only way to run a search and end up directly on the Robert FitzRoy page is to do a search for just that: "Robert FitzRoy."

It seems to me that several of the people with this surname are more notable than a suburb of Melbourne, so a disambiguation page is most appropriate here. Gdr 19:33, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
