Margaret of Burgundy (1374-1441)Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria — There were many women known as Margaret of Burgundy and it is obvious that we need some sort of disambiguation. However, putting the years of birth and death in the article title is not the best way to do it. When going through categories or disambiguation pages, it is much easier to realize that Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria, is the Margaret you need. Is she better known as Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria, or as Margaret of Burgundy who was born in 1374? Of course, the title she held by marriage is the best disambiguator. Therefore, I propose moving the article back to where it was before 31 March 2010. Surtsicna (talk) 16:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Support I agree. While either title is fine with me, including Duchess of Bavaria is probably best for those who are unfamiliar with Margaret, and thus are not sure when exactly she lived and died. Ruby2010 (talk) 19:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Dates are the last resort for disambiguation. There is some discussion of these issues at [[Talk:WP:NCROY]]. Titles like this may appear clumsy, but may be the least problematic way of disambiguating some royal consorts, particularly if they had common names like Margaret.

She is known as either "Margaret of Burgundy" or "Margaret, Duchess of Bavaria"[2]. As "Margaret of Burgundy" as ambiguous, and "Margaret, Duchess of Bavaria" is not, the article should be at the latter title. The alternative move suggested is original research and is unsupported by reliable sources. DrKiernan (talk) 07:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
