Move discussion at Talk:David Rodríguez Sánchez
Greetings, there is an ongoing move discussion happening at Talk:David Rodríguez Sánchez. I am posting here to invite more discussion after relisting for another 7 days. It may be the first case of implementing the RfC immediately above. As a side note, it produces a case where  ( soccer player) is required over  ( soccer), which was a minor point of discussion above. Courtesy pings -2pou (talk) 17:39, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Basketball naming convention
Currently there are no formal instructions for disambiguating basketball people. Per consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Basketball, I propose formalizing it and adding the following for basketball:


 * 1) When there are multiple people with the same name, and one of them is notable in basketball, disambiguate that person using (basketball). Example: Anthony Bennett (basketball)
 * 2) If there are multiple basketball people with the same name, but they have different roles, disambiguate by their job responsibility. Examples: Larry Miller (basketball player), Roy Williams (basketball coach)
 * 3) If there are multiple basketball people with both the same name and overlapping roles, disambiguate by their birth year. Example: Jason Williams (basketball, born 1975)
