@Tony1: I've just noticed you moved this to have (UK) as a suffix - is this needed? The Act has a very specific title and I can't imagine it's going to need disambiguated (nowhere else has an Advanced Research and Invention Agency). Wanted to check in case I'd missed something rather than just move it back, though. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Andrew. Are you willing to monitor legislation worldwide to ensure that another act with a similar title doesn't emerge? Tony(talk) 03:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tony1 If one comes along we can certainly disambiguate, but I don't think it will be likely to arise, to be honest - the title + year combinations are usually quite specific, so titles rarely get duplicated for this type of article.
So this would introduce an inconsistency. Tony(talk) 13:16, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that adding a (UK) suffix here is the inconsistency - looking at other comparable articles, almost two thousand don't have suffixes, and just a handful of special cases that require disambiguation do. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Legislation acknowledges a suffix as appropriate when disambiguation is needed, but not otherwise.

Go ahead if you really must; but I find it a disservice to readers in search. Tony(talk) 05:08, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - I've moved the page back. I'm not sure readers will be particularly confused, but just to be on the safe side I've added a short-description which explicitly states it's UK. Andrew Gray (talk) 16:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
