Ray Collins (trade unionist) → Ray Collins, Baron Collins of Highbury.

Oppose - Better known as the general secreatry of the Labour Party and his Trade Union activities in general.--Lucy-marie (talk) 15:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Support. WP:NCPEER is quite clear. This chap is no longer wholly or exclusively known by his pre-peerage nomenclature. Disambiguation necessary. Kittybrewster ☎ 15:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oppose in the strongest possible terms for consistency in naming per policy and guidelines like WP:COMMONNAME, WP:TITLE, WP:D and WP:PRECISION that apply to all Wikipedia article titles. The subject is most commonly known by the current title; adding peerage information is additional precision that is completely unnecessary, all good reasons to ignore WP:NCPEER. --Born2cycle (talk) 20:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support per WP:NCPEER. Disambiguation is needed, and using the title is the correct way to disambiguate per WP:NCPEER.
B2C's arguments are bogus, because the policy WP:TITLE explicitly permits topic-specific naming conventions such as WP:NCPEER. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support. Best way to disambiguate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Comment - This is not the best way to disambiguate as he is far better known for his trade union activities.--Lucy-marie (talk) 17:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Support. Disambiguation required, so best to use "another term or more complete name" as per WP:NCDAB. JRawle (Talk) 16:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
