Requested move

The following discussion is an archived 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: Salif Keïta (footballer) moved to Salif Keïta (Malian footballer), consensus clearly against the original proposals. Jenks24 (talk) 13:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– There are two footballers with this name, separated only by the double-dotted "ï" in the name of the Malian footballer. At this point one is just "footballer" and the other is "Senegalese footballer". One of them has "ï", the other has "i". Seems like disambiguation enough.

Comment this article is about a Malian footballer, so Salif Keïta (Malian footballer) should have a redirect to here. and Salif Keita (Malian footballer) ; and the other title Salif Keita (footballer) should redirect to the Senegalese footballer article, if it is moved. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 01:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose you've made no accounting for Salif Keïta the musician. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 01:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would make Salif Keita into a disambiguaiton page for these three people. If you use just an accent for disambiguation, then Salif Keita (Senegalese footballer) would move to Salif Keita (footballer). If you think that's insufficient then Salif Keïta (footballer) should move to Salif Keïta (Malian footballer). -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 01:12, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment sample disambiguatino page available at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Salif Keita (disambiguation) -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 06:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - with all respect to both footballers, the musician is WP:PRIMARY by a long margin. As the cover of Soro (album) shows the tréma is usually written to separate the vowels, both footballers are also written this way, so cannot be used for disambiguation. We already have a long disamb page at Keita. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:26, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Salif Keïta (footballer) → Salif Keïta (Malian footballer). Once we have brackets then disamiguation must be precise per WP:DISAMBIGUATION. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't see how ï is anywhere near necessary disambiguation. The overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here considering the page views is the current Salif Keita:

[1] Salif Keïta (footballer) has been viewed 2236 times in the last 90 days.

[2] Salif Keita (Senegalese footballer) has been viewed 926 times in the last 90 days.

[3] Salif Keita has been viewed 38487 times in the last 90 days.

I propose Salif Keita (Senegalese footballer) remains there whilst Salif Keïta (footballer) → Salif Keïta (Malian footballer). Zarcadia (talk) 21:06, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

oppose concur with suggestion by Zarcadia and In ictu oculi to move to Malian footballer. And spell it correctly (with the accent) for the page name please. --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 14:13, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
