Bill Jones (American football coach) → Bill Jones (American football coach, Indiana State) – avoid confusion with Bill Jones (American football coach, Notre Dame) Joeykai (talk) 14:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. Appears to be an uncontroversial technical request. The entries for both men are stubs, thus the incomplete disambiguation Bill Jones (American football coach) should redirect to the Bill Jones#Sports dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:46, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Bill Jones (American football coach, Notre Dame) may not meet WP:NGRIDIRON, and should probably be deleted, making this moot. 162 etc. (talk) 16:10, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest Bill Jones (Indiana State football coach) as more grammatical. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:07, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If consensus were to prefer the alternative form proposed above by Hameltion, I would replace my "support" vote with support for Bill Jones (American football coach) → Bill Jones (Indiana State football coach), paired with Bill Jones (American football coach, Notre Dame) → Bill Jones (Notre Dame football coach). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Note that disambiguation by DOB is usually preferred; Bill Jones (American football coach, born 1914) would be a more standard tag. 162 etc. (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
