Profiles Mentioned:

There are these profiles for "Thomas Johnson" all claiming the same birth & death dates; two 'might' be the same, but it's not yet clear which those might be.
ID 6000000037845088302 Thomas Johnson parents Jeffery & Margaret, m. Rachel (lnu) & Elizabeth (lnu)

ID 6000000030721314835 Thomas Johnson no parents, m. Rachel Holeman

ID 6000000051230945941 Thomas Norwood Johnson parents Thomas & Sarah, m. Rachel Mullen

There is also a FamilySearch.org profile which also claims those dates (unsourced) ... with still different parents & spouses:
ID L2RB-SBK on [https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L2RB-SBK FamilySearch for Thomas Johnson] parents Thomas & Mary, m. Rachel (lnu)

The MP flag is set on those 3 profiles because it's not clear what to do with them yet, and merging looks to create more inconsistencies. (I suppose one approach would be to delete all the birth & death info, and then let record matches bring back in better info ... with the 'hazard' of that is that other places have copied this info and would just bring back the same values.)

To 'tag in' other managers, here are the currently 'related' profiles of those 3:
Rachel Johnson, spouse w/ dau. Alice Jane Shepherd
Rachel Johnson, spouse w/ 3 children:
* William Johnson
* Phillip Johnson
* Rachael Rebecca Johnson
Thomas Johnston & Sarah Johnston, parents
Rachel Johnson, spouse w/ son Thomas Johnson, Jr.
Elizabeth Johnson, spouse
Jeffrey Wright Johnson, II & Margaret [Johnson] Colson, parents, with their children (siblings of a Thomas):
* Jeffrey William Johnson, III
* Moses Johnson, Sr.
