– Ambiguous identifiers - goalkeepers are used in multiple sports such as field hockey, netball, water polo. And there is also defenders in beach volleyball among other sports for common sense. Seems more sensible to use commonly formatted identifiers for footballers. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Richard Ofori (goalkeeper) → Richard Ofori (footballer, born November 1993)
 * Richard Ofori (defender) → Richard Ofori (footballer, born April 1993)
 * Oppose per WP:NCSP. The current qualifiers are far more recognizable and disambiguating for the average reader than a few months difference in age. Not to mention more WP:CONCISE. We're not disambiguating goaltenders, we're only disambiguating Richard Oforis, so the positions existing in other sports is not important. The proposed titles could be redirects, though.

 * Oppose - I agree with the nominator that YOB is better than position, but in this example it's probably best. GiantSnowman 17:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree we should generally use YOB, but considering these are two players born in the same year and play at very distinct positions, think positions are clearly the best disambiguators here. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:35, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Support a, a, I agree with my pal Iggy and YOB disambigyators are generally used. cheers, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Clayton64 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Usually I'm a staunch champion of YOB disambiguation for footballers, but in this instance, when both are footballers from the same country born in the same year, the position is indeed the best disambiguator. The argument that goalkeepers and defenders are used in various sports is utterly irrelevant, given both of these men are footballers. If another Richard Ofori comes along who's a goalkeeper or defender in another sport then we'll have to reconsider. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:52, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose as Naming conventions (sportspeople) accepts the option of disambiguating by position, and it's likely to be more helpful to readers in identifying which one they're looking for, compared to using the month here. Adumbrativus (talk) 01:20, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
