Diego Lopez (soccer) → Diego Lopez (soccer, born 2002) – The page Diego López features ten other people who play the same sport, but whose titles are "footballer" not "soccer". Due to the limited career of this teenage minor league player, and the masses of players with the same very common name, it's very unlikely that he is the primary topic for players of association football called Diego Lopez, even if the searcher is an American who types the word "soccer" 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:151D:473A:78D3:A15 (talk) 17:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. buidhe 04:28, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Support per nom, and redirect the previous location to the existing disambiguation page. GiantSnowman 07:33, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:NCSP and WP:ENGVAR. That's not the way we disambiguate between "soccer players" and "footballers". This is unnecessary disambiguation as he is the only player referred to as a "soccer player" in the dab page. The rest are referred to as footballers due to regional dialects because their nations prefer the term "football" over "soccer". Yes, they all play the same sport, but the words "football" and "soccer" are not referred to each other interchangeably in each article about the sport in general. For example, see Werner Roth (footballer and soccer). KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 16:32, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Article naming is the sum of two components, determination of primary topic (i.e. what topic should this title contain?) and optimal naming among the permissible choices (i.e. what title should this topic reside at?). "Diego Lopez (soccer)" is an accurate description of all the non-American footballers despite not being the ideal title for them, so they are in contention with the American soccer player for primary topic of that title. Think about it this way: Suppose there were only two Diego Lopezes, a Mexican footballer and a Spanish politician, both equally notable. In that case "Diego Lopez" would be a disambiguation and we would have articles at "Diego Lopez (footballer)" and "Diego Lopez (politician)". But is "Diego Lopez (soccer)" allowed to exist? Yes, of course, it would be a redirect to "Diego Lopez (footballer)". -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:32, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per KingSkyLord. PointComm (talk) 16:13, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose see above. 2600:1700:F71:2890:30DE:74A:A133:904F (talk) 05:34, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, even if people were looking for a soccer player named "Diego Lopez", I don't think this one would be primary.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:45, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now per KingSkyLord. Not looking to break naming conventions. 71.153.245.192 (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Diego Lopez (soccer) → Diego Lopez (soccer, born 2002) – An RfC has just concluded establishing that "soccer" is insufficient disambiguation when other footballers exist. Hence I am re-proposing this move to comply with the updated WP:NCSP guideline. To reiterate the reason why "soccer" is insufficient: "Diego Lopez (soccer)" is an accurate description of all the non-American footballers despite not being the ideal title for them, so they are in contention with the American soccer player for primary topic of that title.

 * Support 100% per nom, pre the recent RfC. It's become community consensus: to people in a large chunk of the world (Wikipedia's most-used country, the U.S.), "Diego Lopez (soccer)" accurately describes the other non-American association football (or, "soccer") players. It's true – it's an incomplete disambiguation and an ambiguous phrase when others exist. It's community consensus. Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how, but can you add this to the list of WikiProject Football -related move proposals (as you did for the previous request)? Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:51, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Support to reflect RFC; then we need to turn Diego Lopez (soccer) into a redirect to Diego Lopez accordingly. GiantSnowman 10:13, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per previous discussion. KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 18:43, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You participated in the RfC. Even though it ended in a way that you might disagree with, this is now community consensus which must be respected. -- <b style="color:red">King of ♥</b><b style="color:red"> ♦</b><b style="color:black"> ♣</b><b style="color:black"> ♠</b> 18:50, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Even if you disagree with the result, the community RfC collectively decided otherwise. It's become community consensus: to people in a large chunk of the world (Wikipedia's most-used country, the U.S.), "Diego Lopez (soccer)" accurately describes the other non-American association football (or, "soccer") players.
