Is Short the oldest living cabinet minister of the 1974-9 Labour government? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dovea ( talk • contribs) 17:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
As he is clearly the better known Edward Short we do not need the title as disambiguator, see WP:NCROY. I think he was often known as Ted Short, should this be the title? It's a moot point if we need the disambiguation page or if this could be dealt with by hatnotes. PatGallacher ( talk) 13:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Was it Ted Short who at one time said that his vision was the day coming when even the girls behind the counters in Woolworths had degrees - a sort of metaphorical reference to education standards rising? But that when, later, unemployed graduates had to take jobs like that because they couldn't find anything better, the conservatives made a joke on his remarks.

Edward Short, Baron Glenamara → Edward Short — He is already the primary meaning of "Edward Short". As he only received the title after he retired from front-line politics it would not be appropriate to include it, see WP:NCROY and Talk:Catherine Ashton. The lenght of his retirement is irrelevant.

I took this bit out pending confirmation with a source. If true, the circumstances of his resignation from the deputy leadership of the party sound interesting and should be expanded for the benefit of the reader. If not true, obviously this is a biography and so that's not ok.-- Jimbo Wales ( talk) 07:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

That picture looks remarkably like Short's colleague George Thomas (Viscount Tonypandy), Welsh Secretary and later Commons speaker. WorkingtonMan ( talk) 08:15, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
