Bearing in mind the following:
I propose the following naming conventions GAA player bio articles:
Where not a dual player :
Usual dab: John Foo (hurler) (or John Foo (Gaelic footballer) or Joan Foo (camogie) as the case may be)
I think Joan Foo (Gaelic footballer) is preferable to Joan Foo (ladies' Gaelic footballer) where relevant
If still ambiguous, use the following formats (in descending order of preference)
John Foo (Cork hurler) (or John Foo (Cork and Dublin hurler) if represented both counties at senior level, and one does not predominate over the other in the popular consciousness)John Foo (Cork hurler, born 1977) John Foo (St. Finbarr's hurler, born 1977)
Where is a dual player :
If reasonably well-known in both:
John Foo (sportsperson) if not ambiguous
redirect from John Foo (dual player) and John Foo (Gaelic footballer) AND John Foo (hurler) If "sportsperson" is ambiguous (whether clashing with other GAA players or with players other sports), try (in descending order of preference)
John Foo (Irish sportsperson) John Foo (Cork sportsperson) John Foo (Gaelic football and hurling) (or John Foo (hurling and Gaelic football) if better known in hurling)John Foo (Cork Gaelic football and hurling) John Foo (St. Finbarr's Gaelic football and hurling) John Foo (Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977) John Foo (Cork Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977) John Foo (St. Finbarr's Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977)
If significantly better known in one (say hurling) than the other:
Use John Foo (hurler) if not ambiguous
If "hurler" is ambiguous same cases as listed above for non-dual player
Redirect from John Foo (dual player)
If not ambiguous redirect from John Foo (Gaelic footballer)
otherwise add a hatnote to "John Foo (Gaelic footballer)" if that's an article
If not ambiguous also redirect from John Foo (sportsperson)
Current title
