Does the current title, "John Wood (Room to Read)", meet WP:NCP and WP:AT? If not, what title do you suggest? --George Ho (talk) 21:20, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What about John Wood (humanitarian)?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking John Wood (Microsoft) or John Wood (born 1964), but "(humanitarian)" is fine as well. --George Ho (talk) 16:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also support born 1964.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:00, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd go with John Wood (born 1964) as well. He left Microsoft so it doesn't make sense to include Microsoft in the page name. Meatsgains (talk) 00:19, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I support John Wood (born 1964). Fraulein451 (talk) 17:40, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No the title as it is does not meet WP:NCP. Naming conventions seem to say to use parenthetical disambiguation when there is no usual conventional way. Here, because there are other people named John Wood, and John J. Wood, and because he is not commonly identified with his middle name, the parenthetical disambiguation is appropriate. WP:AT leads to the same conclusion. Where the current title seems to fail is "(Room to Read)". The naming conventions specify "Try also to limit the tag to a single, recognizable and highly applicable term." Perhaps it's just me that is not familiar with Room to Read, but I do not find it to be recognizable. Based on the current contents of the article I would suggest John Wood (literacy advocate), or support John Wood (humanitarian). I would not support John Wood (Microsoft) because the article seems to emphasize his work after Microsoft. I would not support John Wood (born 1964) because the naming conventions state the year of birth is not normally used, and it is not necessary here because it can be resolved with more a specific qualifier. Also the historical figure exception does not apply because there is a dominant qualifier. Becky Sayles (talk) 00:56, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not - Here via RfC call. Yes to humanitarian, literacy advocate or my preference: activist. EBY (talk) 01:56, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I support adding "humanitarian" to the title. Fraulein451 (talk) 01:56, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: move the page to John Wood (activist), per the discussion below; if a further move to a different disambiguator is still desired, please initiate a new request. Dekimasuよ! 01:45, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John Wood (Room to Read) → John Wood (born 1964) – The current title looks awkward at best. I am thinking "(born 1964)" because I want a very stable title, but there are alternatives, including ones proposed in the previous discussion: "(humanitarian)", "(literacy advocate)", "(advocate)", or "(activist)". "(Microsoft)" is out because he quit the company for something that makes him notable, helping illiterate children worldwide. If renaming is needed but neither title works for you, what is your alternative? George Ho (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John Wood (activist) was my !vote. EBY (talk) 19:08, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
