[edit]@Boghog: @User:Boghog, thoughts on renaming this article "James Lind (natural philosopher, born 1736)" rather than physician? Based on his achievements, it seems he is better known as a scientist rather than a physician (..despite having an MD and being the King's physician). Furthermore, his cousin James Lind was a renowned physician, therefore renaming this article as a natural philosopher would help disambiguate these pages. SloppyTots (talk) 23:59, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Done I agree that the page should be renamed. Generally page name should be as concise as possible. If the physician is replace by naturalist, then the birth year disambiguation becomes unnecessary. Also naturalist is a shorter and more general description of natural philosopher. So I was bold and moved the page to James Lind (naturalist). Boghog (talk) 04:53, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
