I have a suggestion/query regarding the line "He came to the USA in 1904". As wiki is a worldwide website, i think that the reference "He came" makes the wiki feel that is run solely by people from the USA. i would like to see the line changes to "He emigrated to" or "He left Ireland" or something similar 194.46.238.234 02:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Noel194.46.238.234 02:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

– Per
- Oppose. I should imagine there have been numerous notable priests called Father Flanagan and Father Duffy, so there's certainly nothing unambiguous about these names. Most priests are in fact most commonly referred to as Father Foo or Reverend Foo or Bishop Foo or Cardinal Foo (e.g. how often is John Henry Newman referred to as anything other than Cardinal Newman?). Should we move all of them? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- There may indeed be a case for renaming Cardinal Newman. Two wrongs do not make a right. I can see no previous discussion at Talk:John Henry Newman, nor any previous moves at history:John Henry Newman, so it may not be a precedent. Andrewa (talk)
- I have only used Newman as an obvious example. There are many thousands of others. Also see WP:NCCL in general, where it says that "Cardinal" (or other religious titles) are not generally used in article titles, even though most religious dignitaries are referred to using them. I see no reason to break the conventions for these two gentlemen. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)]

- Support both but would not oppose relisting in view of the single oppose !vote above and lack of other participation. I note that the proposed article titles both redirect to the articles, and always have... more than ten years in both cases. There is no ambiguity, and no reason not to go with the common names. Our imaginations do not overrule our policies. Andrewa (talk) 18:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)]
- Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. Agree that "Father Flanagan/Duffy" is the "common name" here by usual standards, but would lean against using that title due to MOS:HONORIFIC if we have a better alternative. The full name is accurate and neutral, a primary redirect from Father (Name) is harmless. I'd only want to override COMMONNAME if the usage was truly common and widespread, e.g. the classic Mother Theresa example. SnowFire (talk) 06:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)]
- Oppose, since I think SnowFire is right. --Quiz shows 18:46, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Added organization structure and editing
Added to Lead to include more about career, influence of 1938 in his fame, work for General Macarthur, and canonization cause. Added subheaders to break up adult life - Boys Town came in his middle years; added Representation in other media to cover films - made award issues more concise. This does not really belong in this article at all, because is is about Tracy (saying he wanted to keep the award), not about Flanagan. May put in Tracy's article (probably there), and only have indirect reference here.Parkwells (talk) 20:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
