– Proposing the following moves to try to untangle some ambiguity:

Currently there are two politicians with the same name, Lee Su-jin (politician) and Lee Soo-jin. Both are the same name in Korean (이수진).

Neither politician is the primary topic; they both have very close to the same amount of average monthly pageviews over the last 12 months. Pageview stats for all Lee Su-jin/Soo-jin articles show large amounts of overlap so WP:NOPRIMARY here: pageview stats

Having some trouble coming up with proper disambiguators for the two politicians. Both have the same name, same birth year, same nationality, both are members of the Democratic Party, both served in the National Assembly, and both began serving in the National Assembly beginning in 2020.

Some options:

Option 1:

Lee Soo-jin represented the Proportional representation constituency, while Lee Su-jin (politician) represented a constituency in Seoul, so one option would be to disambiguate by constituency:

- Lee Soo-jin → Lee Soo-jin (politician, proportional representation constituency)
- Lee Su-jin (politician) → Lee Su-jin (politician, Seoul Dongjak B constituency)

Option 2:

Lee Soo-jin was a labor activist prior to her election in 2020, and Lee Su-jin (politician) was a judge, so another option would be to disambiguate by prior notability:

- Lee Soo-jin → Lee Soo-jin (labor activist)
- Lee Su-jin (politician) → Lee Su-jin (judge)

Option 3:

Final option would be to disambiguate by birth month, though this assumes the reader already knows their birth month which is unlikely to be the case, but this might be the cleanest way:
- Lee Soo-jin → Lee Soo-jin (politician, born May 1969)
- Lee Su-jin (politician) → Lee Su-jin (politician, born November 1969)

Also open to any other suggestions from the community for better ways to disambiguate.

Whichever option we end up with, after this move, Lee Soo-jin should be redirected to the disambiguation page at Lee Su-jin.

And, if you're replying in support, please state which of the three options you're supporting (if any), to make it easier on the closer. Thank you!

I support option 3 with a {{not to be confused with}} hatnote. I oppose option 2 because both are mainly known for their political career, surprising readers with an unexpected disambiguator. So I'd also support disambiguators (politician and labor activist) and (politician and judge). I oppose option 1 because not everyone are aware of Korea's mixed electoral system and it introduces confusion. Ca ^{talk to me!} 16:33, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was made aware of this discussion through Wikipedia:Discord because this problem was pointed out. Ca ^{talk to me!} 16:35, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Option 3 is also how namuwiki does it. Ca ^{talk to me!} 09:08, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Option 3 with hatnotes per Ca. That seems like the most straightforward solution. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:40, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
