– No evidence to suggest that the retired tennis player is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the footballer. .de and .fr still have disam pages, ours was curiously removed in November 2009. Incoming wikilinks, page views and g hits all give the impression that, if anything, the footballer is the primary topic. Page views for the tennis player, who is now married and called Müller-Skibbe in any case, quadrupled in the past few days. I'm suspicious that people were looking up the two-time World Cup-winning footballer for her exertions in this week's Champions League final, rather than developing a sudden interest in a retired tennis player who never broke into the world top 30!

Support no Primarytopic. hndab recreated. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, well, would you ever. I was adding BLP refs on retirement and married name (since even though this article was created before the BLP 1-ref rule came into effect, we should extend the BLP ref rule backwards wherever possible when updating any BLP), and would you credit it the WTA has "gone diacritic" - Martina Müller Weds & Announces Retirement. That is worth mentioning in that hopefully it protects this article from joining the BLPs which have had [Martina Müller (Hanover, 1982) known in tennis/English/professionally as Martina Muller...] type leads added recently.

Martina Müller (tennis) → Martina Müller-Skibbe – Before retiring from professional tennis, Martina married Florian Skibbe. According to the latest update on her website (http://www.martina-muller.com/pages/posts/martina-heiratet-und-erklaert-ihren-ruecktritt-vom-profisport--august-201172.php), her married name is Müller-Skibbe. Moving the article to her current name would also solve any redirect issues caused by other Martina Müllers who have Wikipedia articles. Rovingrobert (talk) 07:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about this one. She is notable for only one thing, playing tennis. We usually use the name they most commonly played tennis under, which is Martina Muller. The WTA site uses Martina Muller and her personal website still goes by Martina Muller. Redirect issues would be no different since it's not like "Martina Müller (tennis)" would be going anywhere... it would be a redirect to "Martina Müller-Skibbe." This could be one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" articles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:41, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think you're right. Thanks for humouring me. Rovingrobert (talk) 00:45, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
