Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

James Stewart (divorce lawyer) → James Stewart (solicitor) — He's a solicitor, not a lawyer. —Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 19:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Oppose - He is a collaborative Lawyer, an International Family Lawyer, a Fellow of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and a partner in a London law firm. The term "lawyer" does exist in British English. As there is a movement away from antique terms such as "solicitor". I suggest a Return to the original.

Support - I concur with this move because it follows what is in fact correct. If you disagree with this move because you think he is a Lawyer see the heading of this article. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 21:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This is a reason to move between national dialects: the subject is British, and should be dabbed in British English; although I see lawyer says that that word does exist in BrE, there is no harm in being precise. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

This article has been renamed from James Stewart (divorce lawyer) to James Stewart (solicitor) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 06:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note:a solicitor is a lawyer.

I oppose the change. The term "solicitor" is too UK specific. A solicitor is a lawyer. Stewart is described elsewhere as a "family lawyer" and a "collaborative lawyer". He specialises in international family law and is a fellow of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
