WP:Article titles#Disambiguation is clear that natural disambiguation is preferable to parenthetical disambiguation. Opera hat (talk) 02:09, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closing comment: I wrangled over this one. It reverses and overwrites
 15:55, 6 January 2020‎ Necrothesp talk contribs block‎  110 bytes +110‎  Necrothesp moved page Sir Philip Honywood to Philip Honywood (British Army officer, died 1752) over redirect: usual 

but in the light of no participation here and a valid rationale for the move as opposed to a scanty edit summary usual for the move being reversed, I think we can move and move on. Andrewa (talk) 02:38, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FULL-LENGTH, life-size figure of General Honywood, seated on a bay horse, and advancing to the left in a richly wooded land. He wears a scarlet coat, ornamented with gold work.
