Talk:Mike Johnson: Difference between revisions

::::Personally I'm against having one (politician) and one [[Mike Johnson (Oklahoma politician)|(Oklahoma politician)]]. IMO (speaker) is ok atm, there are no other Mike or Michael Johnson (speakers) with en-WP articles atm. But my current first choice is sticking with (Louisiana politician), it's good enough.

:::::In my research for the close for requested move, I found that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=20&offset=40&profile=default&search=intitle%3A%2F%5C%28Speaker%2Fi&title=Special:Search&ns0=1 (speaker)] was easily the most common form for disambiguation of legislative speakers. This can be seen with English [[Thomas Charlton (speaker)]], the Canadian Newfoundlander [[George Henry Emerson (speaker)]], the Punjabi [[Darbara Singh (speaker)]], the New Yorker [[James W. Husted (speaker)]], and many more. However, at one of the New Yorker speakers were later moved to (New York politician) as can be seen with [[William Baker (New York politician)]]. I also found (speaker) can sometimes be confused with [[Public speaking|public speakers]] as in cases like [[Joseph Martin (speaker)]], [[Pam Warren (speaker)]], and [[Terry Kennedy (speaker)]]. I would also need to note that, for the most part, several of the legislative speakers I found using the (speaker) disambiguation were at the subnational level (when they weren't British). Still, if I had to pick a disambiguation that emphasized Johnson's role as Speaker of the House, then I would go with (speaker). &#8211;<span style="font-family:CG Times, times">[[User:MJL|<span style="color:black">MJL</span>]]&thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Talk'''‐]]^{[[User:MJL/P|☖]]}</span> 18:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
