The result of the move request was: moved per consensus. However, the Portuguese -> 1993 move was not moved without prejudice against speedy renomination, since the format of this RM meant that it was never tagged with a notice about this RM.

Daniel Martins (Equatoguinean footballer) → Daniel Martins (footballer, born 1972) – And Daniel Martins (Portuguese footballer) to Daniel Martins (footballer, born 1993). First of all, for this type of ambiguities (where the name and profession coincide), the year of birth is used, not the nationality. If not, another way is to include the middle name (if both have) (it applies in this case). Another reason for the move is that Daniel Sabino Martins is not exactly an Equatoguinean footballer despite having some appearances (none of them being official) for the Equatorial Guinea national team. He is a Brazilian national who was already in his final years as an active footballer and only then accepted the proposal to play for the Equatorial Guineans as he never had the opportunity to be an international footballer for Brazil. Also, he had never been to Equatorial Guinea before that nor does he have Equatorial Guinean descent. MonFrontieres (talk) 03:06, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Support - it is standard to disambiguate by year of birth, and not nationality, especially when nationality is fluid (as here). GiantSnowman 09:25, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support - nationality (which is a social construct) is always more fluid than birth date (at least, up to now in the histories of human reproduction and attempts at time travel). Acwilson9 (talk) 22:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
