James Davis (athlete) → James Davis (sprinter) – per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions (sportspeople)#Athletics (track and field); "To avoid the conflict between general sportspeople and the sport of athletics (track and field), it's best to disambiguate by event category rather than use a generic "(athlete)" suffix. The "(athlete)" handle may denote sportspeople in general" Joeykai (talk) 05:10, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
