The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus for a move after discussion. Those opposed cite a relevant paragraph of WP:NCPDAB, the same guideline cited in the proposal. The proposed title has been created as a redirect. Station1 ( talk) 04:26, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Frederick Lewis Maitland (Royal Navy officer, born 1730) → Frederick Lewis Maitland (died 1786) – Per WP:NCBIO - For historical figures for whom there is no dominant qualifier (at least no practical one), the descriptor may be omitted in favour of a single use of the date of birth or death. For historical figures, this will often be the date of death, when it is better known, more certain, or is more recognisable than their date of birth. The primary topic for Frederick Lewis Maitland was also a Royal Navy officer, so it's best to disambiguate by birth/death year (convention prefers the latter). estar8806 ( talk) ★ 00:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – Material Works 19:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Years of birth and death are not normally used as disambiguators, as readers are more likely to be seeking this information than to already know it. Disambiguating by vital year may be necessary when there are multiple people with the same name and same specific disambiguation qualifier. In these cases, use [[Name (qualifier, born YYYY)]]
with a comma and born unabbreviated (not b.). For example, with two actors named Charles Hawtrey:
Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1858) and
Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914).
The fact the other Frederick Maitland is not disambiguated does not make the situation a different one. The nomination is going completely against Wikipedia norms by removing the occupation and changing YOB to YOD. --
