Jim Davis (baseball) → Jim Davis (pitcher) – avoid confusion with Jim Davis (Negro leagues) Joeykai (talk) 05:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support per nom, and possibly a Speedy uncontroversial move. We don't typically do "WP:PARTIALDAB / partial primary topics" very often. Thus, "Jim Davis (baseball)" should 100% redirect to the dab page. ...Also, the fact that this the white player is at the "(baseball)" title but the Negro-leagues player is relegated to the "(Negro leagues)" disambiguator, sort-of has the INCREDIBLY UNFORTUNATE accidental side-effect of making it seems like it Wikipedia feels that the white player is the """real""" baseball player — which, while obviously not at all intended, but definitely a horrific consequence. (This could honestly 100% be a Speedy uncontroversial move – it might be wise to move this as soon as possible!) Paintspot Infez (talk) 08:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support this one gets 46 views compared with 10[[1]] for the other, probably not enough for a PADB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:21, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been moving "(baseball)" articles when there is more than one baseball player with that name to more specific dabs per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (baseball players)#Disambiguation #3 for a week or so now, but will not move this article since there is an open RM. This is uncontroversial and should be moved as proposed post-haste. NB, I moved the Negro league article the other day before I noticed this RM.
