Peter Ashmore (theatre director and actor)Peter Ashmore (director) – Another possibility is Peter Ashmore (theatre director) or Peter Ashmore (actor) but I feel that his main claim to notability is as a director.. As per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles and in particular, Naturalness, Precision, Concision, and Consistency. The current name is unwieldy, and non-standard, in that it does not align with others in the subcategories of Category:Directors.

I think shortened title of Peter Ashmore (director) is extremely vague. It implies he could be a director of anything: of an oil company, of an accountancy firm etc. He was a theatre director and actor. AntientNestor who supervised the first edits for this article had no objection to my title. Ellenrich (talk) 20:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a possibility, but I was basing it on the majority of people listed at Category:British theatre directors. Most are listed as (director), some as (theatre director), and others with different disambiguation types. The idea is to go with concise. AntientNestor should be pinged so they can give their own opinion. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My bad—careless. The only function is to distinguish the subject from others with same name. It would be different if there were already a "Peter Ashmore (director)" and we needed further differentiation. AntientNestor (talk) 20:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
