Talk:Robin Corbett

Something's slightly wrong here. Opposition spokesman on Home Affairs is listed as '79 to '92, but per the biography he wasn't in the Commons at all between '79 and '83. 84.93.39.8 (talk) 19:20, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Robin Corbett, Baron Corbett of Castle Vale → Robin Corbett – The Oxford biography knows him as just Robin Corbett; the award named after him knows him as just Robin Corbett; the UK Parliament knows him as Robin Corbett, and yet misguided precedent, WP:NCROY, here on Wikipedia has resulted in an unnecessary disambiguator being added in the form of his full, honorary title. In the context, this goes blithely against the criteria of naturalness and conciseness, is unnecessary for precision and is no more recognisable than the base name, which is also the clear WP:COMMONAME without any disambiguation. The naming criteria are policy, whereas WP:NCROY is just a convention that is sometimes useful for disambiguation. Here it is not; here it is just a nuisance that flagrantly violates the core naming criterion of concision, alongside other guidelines against needless embellishments, notably WP:HONORIFIC.
