Additional details for discussion in amplifying entries within the William Henderson disambiguation page

Suggested below are potential additions as well as possible adjustments, improvements and emendations to the existing thirty-seven entries within the William Henderson disambiguation page. Only those bearing the name "William Henderson", who are mentioned in Misplaced Pages articles, are eligible for inclusion.

As of this writing, only two subjects (among the forty-four entries listed below), William G. Henderson of Henderson Motorcycle and Bill Henderson (author and publisher) who founded Pushcart Press, do not have their own articles. Each of the remaining forty-two names is listed under alphabetically-ordered section headers "Entrepreneurs and designers", "Music performers", "Public officials", "Sports personalities" , "Writers" and "Fictional characters" along with "See also" .

Since all of those listed are named "William Henderson", or given name variations thereof, such as "Bill", "Billy", "Will" or "Willie", the names are indicated in chronological order, by year of birth. If the birth year is unavailable, its proximity is extrapolated from related factors, such as the individual's years of activity or the dates of events which establish his notability, thus determining his positioning in relation to the other entries.

Individuals who have differently spelled surnames or compound surnames, but whose inclusion may be helpful to users searching for a closely related or partial entry, are listed under the last section header, "See also". Occasional entries represent what may be considered "intuitive redirects". In the cases at hand, since it would be counterintuitive to expect anyone intending to access the article delineating Martin Henderson (footballer), to search for it within the William Henderson disambiguation page, the subject's full name, William Martin Neville Henderson is thus listed in its complete form .

The seven additional names, accounting for the difference between the thirty-seven names appearing within the disambiguation page and the forty-four names listed below, are: 1) John William Henderson (main header: John Henderson (wide receiver)) , 2) Claude William Henderson (main header: Claude Henderson) , 3) Bill Henderson (author and publisher) and four partial matches 4) John William Henderson Underwood, 5) William Henderson Packwood, 6) William Henderson Cate and 7) William Henderson Calder.
