I'm curious why this page is titled [[Bobby Scott (U.S politician)]] instead of the simpler [[Bobby Scott (politician)]]? WP:NCPDAB says to keep the disambiguator as simple as possible, and other politicians named Robert Scott are in articles that begin with Robert, not Bobby. Should it be moved?

Lburke007, please note that if you have a conflict of interest with the subject of a Wikipedia article, you are discouraged, for the sake of the project's integrity, from editing the page directly. Instead please make suggestions here so that uninvolved editors can review them. If you are editing as part of a paid role, you are required by Wikipedia policy (please see WP:PAID) to disclose your employer (whether or not that employer is the person or entity whose page you are editing). Thank you for adhering to Wikipedia policy. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
