Talk: Uncle Louie

Contradictory disambiguation

Okay, let's stop reverting each other. I think it's more sensible to have Uncle Louie (grouch) and then either Uncle Louie (Anything Muppet) or Uncle Louie (policeman).

Having an article called Uncle Louie (Charlie) is silly, because nobody knows who Charlie is, and that's not usually how we do disambigs anyway. -- Danny (talk) 18:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry -- that was me who used Uncle Louie (Charlie). Mostly because I find "Anything Muppet" to be unduly vague, and in the case of relatives it makes sense to me to use the extra info we have (we know that Uncle Louie is not just a grouch, he's Oscar's Uncle Louie....). But I'm fine with doing it the other way and using species/type... until we run into *two* AM Uncle Louie's that is :o) -- Wendy (talk) 18:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I could go either way on it. Calling someone Uncle Louie (Anything Muppet) feels clumsy, while disambiguating him by who he is the unlce of makes more sense to me. On the other hand, yeah, no one knows who Charlie is, so... — Scott (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, "Anything Muppet" is clumsy and vague. What about Uncle Louie (policeman)? -- Danny (talk) 18:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
