The Medal edit

The medal belongs to a different Carlo Visconti, not the obscure bishop. --Vicedomino (talk) 05:51, 25 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

– Following discussion at Talk:John O'Connor#Requested move of John Joseph O'Connor articles, it seems like "(cardinal)" is the favoured disambiguator, rather then Archbishop of New York etc. I have made a list of all cardinals (based on Category:Roman Catholic cardinals), which have a disambiguator, at User:Amakuru/Cardinals, and the vast majority already have a "(cardinal)" disambiguator, so this RM is to bring WP:CONSISTENCY in that category. Note that WP:BISHOP does not explicitly allow or disallow "cardinal" as a disambiguator, and if this RM is successful, we should probably add the convention to the rules there.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:35, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Support all its simpler and it is the highest office they have held, so they will be known for it outside of their respective sees in most cases more than they will be known for being the local bishop or archbishop. Thanks to Amakuru for starting this. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. Seems clearer and more concise.--Cúchullain t/c 15:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'd strike support for the ambiguous names mentioned by Necrothesp below. Roger (archbishop of Benevento), Charles of Lorraine (bishop of Metz and Strasbourg) and Romuald I (archbishop of Salerno) should stay put per incomplete disambiguation, with the "(cardinal)" forms redirecting to the dab page.--Cúchullain t/c 16:54, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
