Matthew Williams (laborer) → Lynching of Matthew Williams – Matthew Williams' historical notability should be indicated with the parenthetical qualifier "(victim of lynching)" or "(lynching victim)", rather than simply "(laborer)". However, since English Wikipedia has a number of Lynching of... main title headers (Category:Lynching deaths in the United States by state), the most apt header would seem to be Lynching of Matthew Williams. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:55, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply
