Requested move 24 July 2015
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Comment I have seen a bunch of different forms of this, but my impression has always been that ", Sr." would be the correct form, i.e.
John Darling, Sr., although I notice
WP:JR allows either form. In my view articles should be moving away from the "(senior)" and "senior" constructions.

I am both aghast and not at all surprised that so many hours were spent discussing this issue. Thanks hugely for all the links! I guess this article might as well stay as is then.

Comment. As the nominator, I emphatically do not care which convention people use as long as we pick one and stick to it, and preferably that someone with admin privileges goes through our political articles and makes sure they're all in the same format.

It is already sitting at the convention used on Wikipedia, AFAIK, what other uses have you seen that use "senior" in the manner you requested? --

Do you recall which articles use those article names? so we can get the ball rolling and make them consistent? (Too bad Wikipedia doesn't maintain a suffix index for searching) --

I can find a few through Google, but it's a really common thing and not just here: someone with the right tools needs to search the database for all the different permutations and standardise them.

Oppose - I don't like spelling out "Sr" just because of comma stuff. I was hoping for opposes, but I see just vote-less comments instead.

Oppose – George, thanks for encouraging this to reach a conclusion. After the comments and questions above, I see no coherent rationale in support of this proposed move, so mark me as "opposed" as well. —
