re David Ball
OK, what you want is a separate article for the David Ball who was an American footballer born 1967. You don't want to the add the info to the page David Ball, which is just a list of links pointing to the various David Balls who have articles. (We call this a "disambiguation" page.)

However, it doesn't look to me like the David Ball who is an American footballer born 1967 is notable enough to have an article. See WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BIO and specifically WP:ATHLETE. We can't include too many biographical articles. So unless this David Ball has played in the NFL or a similar top-level league, or unless he has articles written about him, or done something else of particular note, then I wouldn't recommend creating the page.

If you do want to create an article, the best name would probably be David Ball (American football player). But as I say I don't recommend this as, unless I miss my guess, it would be likely be deleted.

But thank you, and welcome to Wikipedia, and I look forward to your future contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Herostratus (talk) 06:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
