David M. Kennedy (author) → David M. Kennedy (criminologist) – To use the (author) suffix in the name of this article is less precise than using the suffix (criminologist). The historian David M. Kennedy (whose article is named David M. Kennedy (historian)) is more well-known than this David M. Kennedy, and his writings are more voluminous. Therefore, I think we would do better to rename this article to David M. Kennedy (criminologist). We might want to consider redirecting David M. Kennedy (author) to the disambig page David Kennedy. Let's discuss as needed. KConWiki (talk) 23:51, 7 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
