John Hancock (disambiguation)[edit]

This disambig page consists of four inappropriate entries (things named after Hancock) and two genuine Hancocks, of which the first of course has his own article at John Hancock. The remaining Texas representative doesn't warrant a separate disambiguation page. I've already moved all information to John Hancock while I was busy rewriting the article, and propose that we delete the now superfluous page (that shouldn't have existed in the first place, if you ask me).

  • Keep. "John Hancock" is common nickname for John Hancock Insurance. Plus, the phrase "the John Hancock" is also a very common term in New England referring to the John Hancock Tower. (I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true in Chicago.) Since these topics may each be commonly referred to by the same term, a disambiguation page is entirely warranted. - [[User:KeithTyler|Keith D. Tyler [flame]]] 22:05, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)
Damn, foiled again! cough In that case, the disambig page just needs some clarification. Withdrawing the entry. JRM 22:09, 2004 Nov 12 (UTC)
