The result of the move request was: moved to titles using the "born" disambiguator. (page mover nac) --  Flooded w/ them 100s  10:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

– Neither of these men appear to be of significantly greater notability than the other; page views for both are minimal and fairly even. I believe the proposed page titles are the correct interpretation of WP:NCPDAB though I'm open to other suggestions. PC78 (talk) 17:16, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * John Birdsall → John Birdsall (politician, died 1839)
 * John Birdsall (1840–1891) → John Birdsall (politician, died 1891)
 * Support John Birdsall becoming a disambiguation page with two entries — John Birdsall (politician, born 1802) and John Birdsall (politician, born 1840).   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support born XXXX, as above, rather than died XXXX. More usual. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:34, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I was looking at the part of the naming covention that says "For historical figures this would often be the date of death...", but perhaps I'm reading it wrong? PC78 (talk) 00:19, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know why it says that, to be honest. We've used date of birth for years. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:24, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
