Will the real Patrick McGowan please stand up?[edit]

I ran across this while correcting my own false wikilink for a past President of the New York City Board of Aldermen. But doing a search found a golf instructor and several other versions of the basic name, besides the three already mentioned here. Is it worth constructing a disambiguation page and/or expanding the hatnote of this article? —— Shakescene (talk) 05:20, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like a disambiguation page would be a good idea. There is also a politician in Maine with that name. It is a very common name. —BMRR (talk) 22:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
