Two unrelated composers of the same name

Post by Skaf »

There is already a composer page for a Johann Nepomuk Fuchs (1842-1899, VIAF 10113462; https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Fuchs,_Johann_Nepomuk). However, there is also a second composer of the same name (1766-1839; Joseph Haydn's successor at the Esterházy court; VIAF 2795053) who is not related to the former Fuchs.

How should the page for this composer be named?

(Note: The wiki (https://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:Composer_Names) explains how to name pages for related composers of the same name (i.e., by adding Jr. and Sr. or I, II, III etc). However, there is no information on how to deal with unrelated composers.)
