Leaving this as a note to KidAd. I am heading off to bed right now, but in around 8 or 10 hours I will get back to this page. I will work on his tenure as sheriff and deputy sheriff using Newspapers.com and hopefully find a yearbook photo of him (as thankfully most of the older ones didn't have copyright notices in them). - Jon698 talk 9:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Off to bed for me as well. Finding a portrait of him will be helpful. There are a few floating around from his later years in the House, but a retro one will be better. Thanks for your work. KidAd ( 💬💬) 09:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved: Frank A. Howard → Frank Howard (Louisiana politician), and Frank Howard (politician) → Frank Howard (Canadian politician). Although there was some debate about whether Frank A. Howard should retain his current title per WP:NATURALDIS, there is in general a consensus that the parenthetical is better as the middle initial is not used a huge amount. — Amakuru ( talk) 15:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised.-- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
The presence or absence of hatnotes in articles with disambiguated titles has been a contentious issue, and this guideline doesn't prescribe one way or the other.The guideline used Water (Wu Xing) and water as an example. Different people with the same name is not what that guideline is referring to. On the contrary, that is exactly what {{ other people}} is designed for. Either way, there evidently is confusion, as the purpose of this discussion in the first place is to resolve said confusion.
...when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title.-- Puzzledvegetable Is it teatime already? 19:13, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
