I suggest "William Hague (architect)" might be a better title, this one might suggest that he is e.g. the son of the British politician. PatGallacher ( talk) 09:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

William Hague (architect) — The existing qualifier is not a good way of distinguishing him from the British politician who is the primary meaning of
William Hague.

The recent move of William Hague Jr. to William Hague (architect) without meaningful discussion has created a problem for anyone intending to write about the actual William Hague (architect). It places the biography and works of the very famous William Hague Jr. and restates them as the career of William Hague. He was professionally known as William Hague Jr. Several other architects throughout the world have worked throughout their careers keeping the postnomial Jr. with them despite their own fame. Now while they are clearly inferior in Wikipedia importance to any later British politician who shares their name, why does this now mean they replace the careers of individuals whom they were named for.
That is collapsing two issues into one. The British politician has already been the primary meaning for some time. Politicians are not clearly more notable than architects, but Hague has been a senior politician for some time, he now holds a top govt. posts. PatGallacher ( talk) 10:16, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
