– Per WP:NCPDAB, "Years of birth and death are not normally used as disambiguators (readers are more likely to be seeking this information than to already know it) although this may be necessary when there are multiple people with the same name and tag".
In this case, both cricketers are more readily identified by their nationality than by their date of birth -- the latter is information which most readers will learn for the first time when reading the articles.
The en.wp articles on these men do not mention any international matches or any matches played for a team outside their home countries, so the deprecated year-of-birth-format is not needed. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would suggest that this article is moved instead to Ron Nicholls (English sportsman) as he also had a decent football career (>150 professional appearances in the Football League) – labelling him as just a cricketer seems a bit wrong (see e.g. Raymond Bailey (sportsman)). Happy with the other proposed move. Number 57 12:38, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no objection to that. The article is very scanty on his football career, and I hadn't realise it was that extensive.
  If No.57's proposal is adopted, then Ron Nicholls (English cricketer) should be created as a redirect to Ron Nicholls (English sportsman). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:03, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - This suggestion is also fine with me. Jenks24 (talk) 14:10, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
