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.
-Kevin Rector
Do they have a middle name or initial?
Jay.

One possibility is to disambiguate by year of birth. If THOSE are the same, it gets a little difficult!
