Ludwig van Beethoven (1712–1773) → Ludwig van Beethoven the Elder – I think this would be a better disambiguator to distinguish him from his grandson given not all readers will recognize that 1712 is not the younger Ludwig's birth year (turns out we don't even know his birth year which I didn't know until looking it up just now) and that could lead to accidental clicks leading to the wrong page. "The Elder" is also terminology used consistently through the article to refer to its subject. Ludovicus van Beethoven may also be a good option as it is the name most frequently used in the article's sources. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 00:55, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
