Talk:Benjamin M. Flowers

Disclosure

I herby disclose that I have no association of link with the subject. I got to know about him when I was reading about a case on internet. When I searched about him on Wikipedia I was redirected to Solicitor General of Ohio page. So I created this article. Feel free to edit or make changes on this page. Also, educate me on redirect.

Duplicate article

This is the second such article for Flowers. The history for the first is available at Ben Flowers (lawyer). I don't know if it is possible to merge the edit history of both pages together. Paging @Snickers2686, @Safiel, and @bd2412 for thoughts. – JocularJellyfish ^Talk_Contribs 01:20, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

• Nothing that really needs to be done or even should be done, other than merging in any material from Ben Flowers (lawyer) that might not yet be included in Benjamin Michael Flowers. Ben Flowers (lawyer) edit history does need to be retained for attribution purposes for any material that was/is/will be merged into Benjamin Michael Flowers. The article should stay at Benjamin Michael Flowers. I have adequately hatnoted all similarly named articles. Safiel (talk) 01:57, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
• Ben Flowers (lawyer) was nominated at Articles for Deletion in 2023, the AfD being closed as redirect. That is a sufficient disposition for that article, other than merging material from there to here. Safiel (talk) 02:09, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Introduction is too long

the opening paragraph is too long. Should we put all these informations (awards, legal writing, blah blah blah) above and just mention he is as "american lawyer", serving in 6th Circuit, Appointed by Trump - period? Al from Rio de Janeiro (talk) 00:17, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Benjamin Michael Flowers → Benjamin M. Flowers – Flowers is not commonly known by the current title, rather either just by his first name and last name or first name, middle initial, and last name. If the desired location is "Benjamin Flowers", the article will need to be disambiguated, perhaps as Benjamin Flowers (lawyer).. However, I think the amount of usage of the middle initial allows for the disambiguation to be avoided, at least for now. Raskuly 🐰 08:02, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

• Move to Benjamin M. Flowers. We typically do middle initial disambiguation when possible, which I would prefer over parenthetical disambiguation. Safiel (talk) 04:15, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Move to Benjamin M. Flowers. We generally record the person's name in the form by which he or she became known. For example, the article about Judge Don Willett (Fifth Circuit) is titled "Don Willett," not Donny (his real name). Al from Rio de Janeiro (talk) 00:19, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
