The result of the move request was move to David McGowan (footballer). Keith D (talk) 10:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

David McGowan (athlete) → David McGowan — No need for the current disambiguation on the David McGowan article as he is the only notable David McGowan. Bully Wee (talk) 09:42, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move as there are 2 notable people, David McGowan (athlete) and David McGowan (rower). Support move of David McGowan (athlete) to David McGowan (footballer) as this is the correct disambiguator. (He is not a track and field athlete.) Tassedethe (talk) 18:10, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose by virtue of if a disambig page has more than one entry your statement that there is only one candidate for the page title is demonstrably false! --AlisonW (talk) 19:22, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to David McGowan (footballer), per Tassedethe. That's the usual disambiguator for football players. Jafeluv (talk) 06:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
