Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:38, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anders Svensson (footballer, born 1976) → Anders Svensson – This Anders Svensson is far more known than any of the other people listed at the disambiguation page. When searching for his name on Google, one certainly doesn't see any articles about (or pictures of) a canoeist, bandy player or footballer born in the 1930's. This move would also require the move Anders Svensson → Anders Svensson (disambiguation). // Mattias321 (talk) 10:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:38, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattias321: How much more notable is this Anders Svensson among the thousands of footballers well-known to football fans? Three of the Anders Svensson's were born within 3 years. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:41, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Appleyard: A lot more well known. After all, this Anders Svensson is the eight most capped European player in history, he has participated in 5 major tournaments and played over 120 matches in the Premier League. The other "Anders Svensson's" don't come close to this record and notability. Besides, the wiki article about him is just called "Anders Svensson" in nearly every language. // Mattias321 (talk) 16:23, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
