Russell Johnston, Baron Russell-JohnstonRussell Johnston — Already the primary meaning of "Russell Johnston", clearly better known than the Australian rules footballer, a fairly well known politician who was deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats for a few years. See a recent move request at Talk:Tommy McAvoy. PatGallacher (talk) 18:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

– This politician is not the primary topic of two "Russell Johnston". The big increase may have included those looking for the recently dead actor Russell Johnson. The overall stats aren't stellar, and neither is stats of Aussie footballer. If change is favored, should it be Russell Johnston, Baron Russell-Johnston or Russell Johnston (politician)? I could be wrong, but the article (before the renaming) was a little more stellar in 2010. George Ho (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You also mean WP:naming conventions (royalty and nobility)? George Ho (talk) 16:27, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He was a lifepeer, it'd be the same as adding "Sir" to knights, that's an unreasonably low standard. He he acquired a hereditary peerage, that'd be a different story. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, the naming convention applies equally to life peers. And indeed to baronets too. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:08, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
