John Gape (1652–1734) → John Gape – As far as I can tell, at the time of this writing, Wikipedia does not have any other articles called John Gape. If there (at least at the time of this writing) is no other article called John Gape, why disambiguate this article's title as John Gape (1652–1734) instead of just naming it John Gape?

@1isall: @Heart of Destruction: I disambiguated the title as John Gape (1652–1734) to distinguish him from his father who also sat as MP. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 08:08, 21 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
