Alexander Brodie (1697–1754) → Alexander Brodie of that Ilk – A Scottish territorial designation such as "of that Ilk" is legally part of one's name, and in this case it also serves to differentiate from other Alexander Brodies. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 18:45, 21 May 2015 (UTC) Zacwill16 (talk) 11:54, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

That designation isn't currently mentioned in the article at all. Per WP:NCPDAB, I would like to get away from years as disambiguators, but the proposed title is going to be very confusing without some kind of context. --BDD (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

It does now. Zacwill16 (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. It still sounds bizarre to me, but it helps that there's some context. --BDD (talk) 14:41, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Question. Alexander Brodie of that Ilk currently redirects to Alexander Brodie. Are there other entries on the disambiguation page that are referred to as Alexander Brodie of that Ilk? Zarcadia (talk) 17:35, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

There is one other, but he doesn't have an article. Zacwill16 (talk) 18:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Not at the moment, but he does have an article in the DNB so should be notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Opera hat (talk) 08:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Insufficient to disambiguate the subject of this article from Sir Alexander Brodie of that Ilk (1617–1680). Opera hat (talk) 08:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
