• R. Rajendran → ?
• R. Rajendran (DMK politician) → ?

– If you don't wish to read this, I've bolded the TLDR.
There's no PTOPIC between these 2 people. That's the easy part. But how on earth do we disambiguate these? Occupation? Both politicians. Ethnicity and occupation? Both Indian. Occupation and birth year? Neither have a birth year. More specific occupation? Both members of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. Political party (as is used for the 2nd one)? We're getting somewhere with (AIADMK politician) and (DMK politician), but (a) these are opaque initalisms and (b) the DMK politician used to be part of AIADMK! The only other thing I can think of is TNLA constituency (Kurinjipadi and Salem North, respectively). So we either (a) disambiguate by political party or (b) disambiguate by constituency.

FWIW, AIADMK was the one split out from DMK, not the other way around. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 09:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

• Support R. Rajendran (AIADMK politician) and R. Rajendran (DMK politician). Both pretty obscure, so I think this is suitable disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:23, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
• Wow, that's... a lot of similarities. I was wondering if we somehow duplicated the articles, but nope, they represented separate constituencies in 2011. I think I'd weak support AIADMK and DMK as the disambiguators, as political parties seem more stable than constituencies (the DMK politician has run for 4 separate constituencies in just 2 political parties), but there's no good answer here imo.

• Move to party-based disambiguator per Clyde and Skarmory above. Create dab page at base title. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 08:11, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
