Name

Not too sure about the name I've chosen here. It might be in contravention of our normal naming standards. However, as there already is a John Hallam, it seemed a reasonable way to disambiguate as we ponder this question: is it better to call this article John Hallam (Catch-1782) — which to my mind seems unnecessarily complicated — or to call the other John Hallam John Hallam (actor). I kinda think it makes more sense to go with the latter, so as to preference the DWU entry. If we do that, then we can drop the "Dr." title, which is completely non-standard.

The way that it is now is the way other individuals are disambiguated. Why is it more complicated than the countless other articles that are disambiguated in the same manner? --Tangerineduel 11:20, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
