Thuram (footballer) → Thuram (Brazilian footballer) – WP:ASTONISH. Lilian Thuram played for Juventus and Barcelona, and won 142 caps for France, winning the World Cup and Euro 2000. It is safe to assume that for the average reader, they are thinking of him for Thuram (footballer) rather than this man, who played on the fringes of club football in Brazil and Greece. A parallel would be Emmanuel Petit and Petit (Portuguese footballer). If the latter was called Petit (footballer), it could likely be confused with Emmanuel Petit, who was a high-profile French player, so the nationality is added to the Portuguese player. 2A00:23C5:E1AB:4500:E069:B555:E00B:30E6 (talk) 11:49, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

There could also be a case for redirecting Thuram to Lilian Thuram as primary topic, and moving Thuram to Thuram (disambiguation). He is far more notable than any of his relatives or this namesake. 2A00:23C5:E1AB:4500:E069:B555:E00B:30E6 (talk) 11:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. In the five years since it was created this article is still just a line of text and an infobox, which doesn't suggest a great deal of notability. But redirect Thuram (footballer) to Thuram; there are multiple footballers with this surname and to the best of my knowledge Lilian Thuram was never known by a mononym.

 * Support move of Thuram (footballer) to Thuram (Brazilian footballer) and then turn Thuram (footballer) into a redirect to Thuram. GiantSnowman 12:32, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
