Tracey Brown (scientist) → Tracey Brown (director) – disambiguation is more accurate Rhys.E97 (talk) 13:27, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:24, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Moving to contested, as I'm unsure about this one and think it could use discussion to form a consensus. She's the director of a scientific organization, and appears to be understood as a 'scientist' in her popular work. In addition, I think 'director' might be too easily misunderstood as a film director, or perhaps a corporate one. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 18:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose "Director" as a disambiguator refers to movie directors, as in Stan Moore (director). I'd suggest Tracey Brown (academic) as a possible alternative. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 02:14, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Comment We also probably need a dab page, as Tracy Brown, Tracey Brown, Tracy Brown-May, and Tracy Browne all exist. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 16:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Comment Since her academic work does not define her position in the charity organization, I suggest Tracey Brown (campaigner) or Tracey Brown (activist) as the alternative. Rhys.E97 (talk) 15:28, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose (director) specifically, but support for (academic), (campaigner), (activist), or similar. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Seems to be commonly referred to as a scientist. Certainly not "director", which is meaningless except when referring to a film, TV or stage director. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
