Joseph Smith (preacher) → Joseph Smith (1736–1792) – there are many people who preach on the disambiguation page Joseph Smith (disambiguation), including the Joseph Smith. This disambiguator is therefore ambiguous, and should redirect to the disambiguation page. -- 65.94.76.3 (talk) 00:26, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Support Joseph Smith (Presbyterian minister born 1736), oppose as proposed. You're right about the current title being problematic, but years should be used only as a last resort disambiguator; see WP:NCPDAB. The other entries on Joseph Smith (disambiguation) disambiguated with years should also be changed; I'll do this myself if the cases are straightforward. --BDD (talk) 19:57, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
 * n.b. I had to change my proposal from Joseph Smith (Presbyterian minister), which can also refer to Joseph Smith (1796–1869). If my proposal is successful, I'll move him to Joseph Smith (Presbyterian minister born 1796). --BDD (talk) 20:00, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
