Hi Stas (and all),
Thanks - that query looks very much like what I was wondering about. "Confirmed to be different" was intended as "we're sure they are two different people, not just a Wikidata artifact that hasn't been merged yet". Use of P1889 would seem a pretty good way to confirm that, though as you say there aren't many yet.
The two Sanjays look like a fairly good example of a confident mismatch.
Andrew.

I'm curious to know how many cases we have where two people share both a name and a birthdate *but are confirmed to be different people*. I
I'm not sure how you specify "confirmed to be different", but otherwise this query might do:
It shows each pair twice (because I'm lazy :) and I have no idea if they are same person of different - short of explicit usage of P1889 which almost never happens I don't think there's a good generic way.
One pair that seems to be different is:

but short of manual examination I see no way to know one way or another.
