William McKinnon → William McKinnon (Dumbarton footballer) – William Mackinnon is the DAB page for people of this and similar names. I'm not sure why this one doesn't have a suffix. Also, Billy MacKinnon is another Scottish footballer, but some sources call him William and don't mention Billy. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Support too close to the dab with Mac for this stub to sitting here without parenthetical. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination and In ictu oculi. This two-sentence stub does indeed need a parenthetical qualifier. A dab redirect using the same name form as that of the Dumbarton footballer {William McKinnon (disambiguation)} flows to the William Mackinnon dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - his DOB is 1859, as fished out from an external link, why not use William McKinnon (footballer, born 1859)? But I agree that "William McKinnon" should be disambiguated per above. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:38, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Good point. Support per Iggy the Swan. Spud the Wikipedian (talk) 11:20, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
