I need some advice. What should I do when there are two people in the same category with the same name? For instance, if there were two people name Joe Blow and one was a soldier and one an author I could do something like this: Joe Blow (author)|]] and [[Joe Blow (soldier)|]]. But what do I do if they are the same thing.

Here's a real world example, there are two ice hockey players named Petr Sykora. They are both Czech, both have played in the NHL and both are notable enough for an article. Do I make the most notable (he already has an article) [[Petr Sykora]] and the less notable [[Petr Sykora (2)]]? If not, how do I handle this? Thanks.

Do they have a middle name or initial?

Jay.

If they have truly identical names, can they be distinguished by their birth year?
