Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel or just Augustus Keppel[edit]

In 2005 Augustus Keppel was redirected to Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel.

If there were multiple notable individuals named Augustus Keppel, then his titles could be used to disambiguate our guy.

But he is the only one, so the article should be at Augustus Keppel, not Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel. Geo Swan (talk) 21:55, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
