Augustine Arhinful (left back) → Augustine Arhinful – unnecessary disambiguation Joeykai (talk) 13:13, 26 March 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 01:23, 11 April 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. B dash (talk) 02:17, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Augustine Ahinful, is one of these a spelling mistake? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:50, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. they look to be two different players with similar names. GiantSnowman 13:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sure they are different players, but this is a variant of the same surname. see magazine, it's clearly the other one who is in this article. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:13, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose, instead move to Augustine Arhinful (footballer, born 1994). In fact all Gbook hits for this spelling refer to the other older player. Baseline should direct to the more notable player. https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Augustine-Ahinful-wants-NC-s-mandate-extended-731542  In ictu oculi (talk) 14:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support as proper name. Disambiguation is unnecessary. 14.183.213.241 (talk) 08:05, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Single edit IP from Vietnam? In ictu oculi (talk) 05:08, 20 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Relisting Do both these players have the same surname? Natg 19 (talk) 01:23, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose, support User:In ictu oculi's proposal. It looks like both players' names are interchangeable in spelling, which is basically the same as being the same. Safrolic (talk) 02:32, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Augustine Arhinful (footballer, born 1994). Obviously different spellings of the same name. We generally disambiguate footballers by year of birth, not position. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:30, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. The hatnotes atop each footballer's entry resolve any ambiguities. A more cumbersome alternative would be to create an Augustine Ahinful disambiguation page, with Augustine Arhinful, Augustine Arhinful (footballer) and Augustine Ahinful (footballer) as redirects to it. The two footballers' entries would then be listed in the dab page as Augustine Ahinful (footballer, born 1974) and Augustine Arhinful (footballer, born 1994). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Why not just title the articles clearly in the first place rather than making people go to the wrong Augustine Arhinful? In ictu oculi (talk) 18:17, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The clear title for each article is the one without a parenthetical qualifier, but with a hatnote. It would be counterintuitive to have one Augustine with a qualifier and the other Augustine without a qualifier, unless we were to construct another layer of access by creating a dab page and adding qualifiers for both men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:23, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * But that won't work in this case because the name is misspelled In ictu oculi (talk) 09:46, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If there is clear evidence for consensus that the surname of one of the footballers is indeed misspelled, then the misspelled surname should be corrected, both footballers should receive parenthetical qualifiers and be listed on a disambiguation page to which the misspelled name should redirect. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:01, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * By all means lets do that. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:23, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
