Survey[edit]

Neutral. See below. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - In response to Septentrionalis, the standard article naming convention seems to be that football (soccer) players are referred to as "footballer", while rugby footballers, both union and league, are referred to as "rugby player". - PeeJay 17:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per PeeJay. Number 5 7 19:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I agree and honestly I doubt a person is going to assume "Footballer" implys American Football. To british sounding. --Thε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 23:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. I think players of American Football are referred to as "football player" anyway. - PeeJay 09:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support - Per The Random Editor Reginmund 23:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Any additional comments:

The only reason not to do this is that he's being disambiguated from a rugby union player, and footballer may still be ambiguous for some readers. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In that case how about using "soccer player" or "football (soccer) player"? I've never seen the term "soccer footballer" used..... ChrisTheDude 22:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Jeff Whitefoot (soccer footballer) to Jeff Whitefoot (footballer) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 07:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit history still needs to be pulled out, a little harder now that the article is on top of it. Dekimasu よ! 16:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
