– Per WP:NCSP, "footballer" is reserved for association footballers not Australian rules footballers. Completely different sports. Ideally, "Australian rules footballer" is better suited in the parentheses than the potentially ambiguous "Australian footballer", but from a search it looks like "Australian footballer" is already widely-used on Wiki for Australian rules footballers.

  • Oppose. A disambiguator is only to be as precise as necessary to disambiguate the use in question from other uses of the same name. For example, there are only two other Dan Hanley's listed at the Daniel Hanley dab page. One is a film editor and the other a physician - so footballer is a more than adequate disambiguator in this case. Australian footballer is more precision than is necessary. Such a title would incorrectly suggest that there is another Dan Hanley footballer that is not of Australian variety. But there isn't. Let's not be misleading. --В²C ☎ 00:57, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No where on WP:NCSP does it say that footballer is "reserved for" association football/soccer players. Unless there are others players of football codes with articles, the titles are precise enough and unambiguous. Jevansen (talk) 01:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I think changing WP:NCSP to make the same sort of distinctions as between American football and American soccer, given Harry Williams (Australian soccer player) etc. then (Australian rules footballer) would be a good idea, but we don't do it so far Category:Australian_rules_footballers_from_Victoria_(Australia) and an RFC not a RM is required.

  • Oppose "footballer" should NOT be reserved for soccer. If it is it is spectacular bias in favor of British English, and should be changed to use "association footballer" for all British soccer players, if these are moved. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 08:24, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per requirement for "shortest name that is unambiguous". "Australian" can be added if needed for further disambiguation later. The claim that "footballer" is reserved for association footballers not Australian rules footballers is false.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 21:23, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
