Kentaro Ito (actor, born 1997) → Kentaro Ito (actor) – This Article is for the television/film actor while the other is for the voice & stage actor, I'm fairly sure that whoever is searching them up won't confuse the two for each other. So I personally don't think there was a need for the hyper specific birth year disambiguator. Secondly, it already has a hatnote above directing to the voice actor Kentarō Itō and vice versa. Hence the title redirect, Kentaro Ito (actor, born 1997) should be removed and/or deleted. Turniner (talk) 03:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While the other article is at Kentarō Itō, the macrons do not actually disambiguate (the names are homophonous and the macrons could be equally well applied to this person; the Japanese characters used for the names are identical). The move from Kentaro Ito (actor) to Kentaro Ito (actor, born 1997) could simply be reverted under WP:RMUM, but on the merits I believe Necrothesp is correct that partial disambiguation is inadequate here. For what it's worth, the Japanese-language articles disambiguate according to the type of acting and neither is at the base title there. Dekimasuよ!04:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Japanese-language articles disambiguate according to the type of acting.." I see your point, if that's the case then how about changing the title to Kentaro Ito (film actor) instead? The one @Necrothesp renamed it with is sort of.. at least in my opinion, too long for just two individuals who so happens to have the same/identical name, maybe if it were 3-5 individuals then yeah sure.
