Talk:Robert Frye (died 1435)

Should 'died 1435) be in the title?

Often when you look at Wikipedia pages their birth and death dates come after the name, they do not usually come in the title. Although I may be mistaken, after all Wikipedia is so large there may be pages I missed when this is acceptable. What's the reason for having 'died 1435' in the title? I think that having died in the title makes the page sound like it will be about his death, when the main page should be about the life, career and work of Robert Frye. I'm sorry in advance if this page is about his death, but is there any reason for putting died in the title? Jake Symons (talk) 08:56, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Jake Symons, it needs to be something that differentiates him from other MPs called Robert Frye. Other possibilities include Robert Frye (MP for Shaftesbury and Wiltshire). Years of birth and death are regularly used in the title for MPs, because they often had the same names, but it's always worth looking for other options. I don't think anything in the title implies this article is about his death, and is a common way of differentiating in other encyclopaedias, e.g. Dictionary of National Biography (see [1]).
