 1. Good! But I do think we should wait a day, in the name of ""consensus"", for any last comments.

However, as you mentioned, the Coptic pope reigned in the 700s, whereas the American conclavist is a contemporary figure. I think it's fair to say that he is more notable to the average person than the Coptic pope of the 700s (the Coptic gets about 7 pageviews per day, while the American gets about 60). Therefore, I actually do think that we should ""bestow"" the Pope Michael page upon David Bawden, and create a new Pope Michael (disambiguation) page.   §§§  "
