The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Paul Hunter (footballer) will redirect to the dab page. Cúchullain ^t/c 20:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Hunter (footballer) → Paul Hunter (Scottish footballer) – there is another footballer with an article, Paul Hunter (soccer), so this disambiguation is ambiguous, and fails WP:PRECISE since it does not sufficiently disambiguate to determine the topic of the article. The current title should redirect to the disambiguation page Paul Hunter (disambiguation) -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 12:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support I am the nominator. The dialectal difference does not help the readership determine the topic of the article, as some dialects of English use both "soccer" and "footballer" the difference between the two titles is zero. Therefore additional disambiguation is required to determine the topic of the article. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 13:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I think that useful informative description should be included as standard in parenthesis type disambiguations in a similar way as informative subtitles are used in Britannica articles such as:
- Thierry Henry French football player - Thierry Henry, in full Thierry Daniel Henry (born August 17, 1977, Châtillon, France), French football (soccer) player who scored more international goals than any other player in France’s history and who is considered one of the most prolific goal scorers of his time.
- Wayne Rooney British football player - Wayne Rooney, in full Wayne Mark Rooney (born October 24, 1985, Liverpool, England), English professional football (soccer) player who rose to international football stardom as a teenager while playing with the English Premier League powerhouse Manchester United.

Paul Hunter is a British citizen who, if called up, may play for Scotland. Greg Kaye 13:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment so you would prefer Paul Hunter (British footballer) then... -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 03:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

His most notable club is Hull City, which is in England. Nationality isn't a useful disambiguator when the player has multiple nationalities or has played in different national leagues. What about either position Paul Hunter (football forward) or year of birth Paul Hunter (footballer, born 1968)? DrKiernan (talk) 11:22, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Paul Hunter (Scottish footballer). Unreal7 (talk) 17:32, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - he's clearly Scottish, and this disambiguation works best, per usual WP:FOOTY conventions and to separate him from the "soccer" guy. — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
