This highlights the issue of same names shouldn't be flagging duplicate persons as ''people with the same names are common''.
Rejected as we mentioned this as planned enhancement.
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Realodex should allow multiple clients with the same name
Since Realodex is meant for real estate professionals to manage clients, I believe that the constraint of only having 1 client with a name (mentioned in the UG) is a feature flaw. For example: a user could have 2 clients with the name Roy Lim (an arbitrary common name).
As such, this implementation decision would inconvenience users, and I believe it is a feature flaw.

:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Describe the bug
It does not really make too much sense for a duplicate person to be classified only based on their name, especially since that is the one field that is most likely to have duplicates.
To Reproduce
add n/John Doe p/98765432 i/20000 e/johnd@example.com a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 f/4 t/buyer t/seller h/HDB r/Has 3 cats b/01May2009
add n/John Doey p/98765432 i/20000 e/johnd@example.com a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 f/4 t/buyer t/seller h/HDB r/Has 3 cats b/01May2009
Expected behavior
Many people can have the same names while other fields are less likely (potentially even impossible; think how phone number/email are unique to each person) to have duplicates. The check for duplicates possibly be based on other fields instead.
E.g Allow same names; disallow same phone and email
