– Although he has been in football since 2005, I don't think there is a primary Shaun MacDonald on Wikipedia. YOB is needed as Shaun MacDonald (footballer, born 1996) exists. The same can be said for the American football player as well so that is included in part of this nomination. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination, Necrothesp and GiantSnowman. There are seven men listed upon the Shaun MacDonald (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the renown of one is so overwhelming that it exceeds the combined notability of all those that remain. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguations after move[edit]

Hi @Robertsky - are you planning to deal with the disambiguation links introduced in a lot of articles as a result of the move of Shaun MacDonald to Shaun MacDonald (footballer, born 1988)? I've started with the articles in my sphere of interest, but if you are planning to pick this up in an automated manner let me know and I'll stop. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 09:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gricehead, go ahead and work as you want first. I am dealing with another similar clean up at the moment at Quantum leap. – robertsky (talk) 10:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
