Henry Eyring (Mormon) – While I admit there is no steadfast rule, I find the use of (Mormon convert) as a parenthetical unusual. The norm has always been to use ether the leadership position (if necessary), such as
Joseph Fielding Smith (presiding patriarch) or (Mormom) and sometimes (Latter-day Saint), such as
George Reynolds (Mormon). Personally I prefer (Latter-day Saint) because it distinguishes what sect this person is a member, as only the LDS Church uses "Latter-day Saint" while other sects us "Latter Day Saint" and "Mormon". However, I admit that this is not done as often as (Mormon), so I have purposed to use (Mormon). I will be happy no matter which is chosen, but I think this page should be renames for uniformity reasons. ---

I saw the move discussion earlier proposed moving to "Henry Eyring (Mormon)", which is problematic since all persons being disambiguated are Mormons. I also dislike the current disambiguator "Mormon convert", probably because he isn't primarily notable for being a convert. He is notable for being an LDS leader, missionary, bishop, mission president, translator of the D&C into German, mayor of St. George, and progenitor of LDS notables. No one of these roles lasted for a major period of his life, so I'm not sure whether any of them would be clarifying as his disambiguator (especially since these other Henry Eyrings have been church leaders and missionaries, though not translators or mayors). Since he immigrated to Utah in 1860 (before the railroad in 1869), perhaps the article could be "Henry Eyring (Mormon pioneer)" or simply "Henry Eyring (pioneer)", since a pioneer carried that status for life. Similar to the following:

Henry Eyring (pioneer)–
Henry Eyring (1835–1902) or
Henry Eyring (pioneer)– "(Mormon convert)" is still a bad way to name this page, and
Rich jj agreed with me. While, my first suggestion was not liked by
John Pack Lambert and
SnowFire, they did suggested Henry Eyring (1835-1902), and the closing admin made no decision on that name. While I personally like other choices better, I Henry Eyring (1835-1902) as it is at least better then how it is named now. Relisted.
