Dmitri N. Smirnov (footballer) → Dmitri N. Smirnov – WP:COMMONNAME of the footballer is "Dmitri N. Smirnov", only page on English Wikipedia with the name. Ortizesp (talk) 21:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). ASUKITE 20:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is a footballer named Dmitri Smirnov and his article is named Dmitri Smirnov (footballer, born 1969), this one should be named Dmitri Smirnov (footballer, born 1980) Ceriy (talk) 11:32, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why not move the other one to Dmitri A. Smirnov? Patronymics are commonly used in Russian as well so it would be a natural disambiguation. Killuminator (talk) 18:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its how footballers pages are named. If you search for "(footballer, born" you see hundreds of pages named like that. Ceriy (talk) 19:55, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
