::I did not notice this on the first pass but I am of the opinion that "Freebirth" is an insult that is pretty common, "Freeborn" is a term for "not a Trueborn" but in of itself there is no such thing as a "Freeborn". As such I would rank the term "Freebirth" higher than the term "Freeborn".--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 15:28, 30 November 2020 (EST)

:::I should maybe clarify that the issue I was tackling here was 'Freebirth as an epithet' vs. 'Freebirth [[Freebirth (novel)|the novel]]', which are the two entries on the disambiguation page. The insult seems much more notable than the novel, so I gave the main article for "Freebirth" to the insult on that basis, following the guidance of [[Policy:Article_Naming#Disambiguation_pages|Policy:Article Naming]]. I'm open to further discussion, of course, but I'm not sure I understand what you suggest doing differently here.
