Alexis Vega (Mexican footballer) → Alexis Vega (footballer, born 1997) – Standard disambiguation style: By year of birth, instead of nationality (which is a social construct).--MonFrontieres (talk) 00:57, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 11:31, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom; YOB is standard disambiguation for footballers given sporting nationality is fluid. Giant Snowman 11:42, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Strong Oppose per WP:NCDAB. WP:NCDAB specifically says that year of birth is not not normally used in titles. Scorpions13256 (talk) 19:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Nationality is a standard disambiguator per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#Association football (soccer) and, in line with the recognizability criterion of Wikipedia:Article titles, is more likely to be known by searchers. DrKay (talk) 12:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per WP:NCDAB and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#Association football (soccer). Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:31, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support "Alexis Vega". This footballer is the primary topic: he plays internationally for a national team whereas the other footballer of the same name plays for a lower level team. Page views I see no good reason at all for why it was moved from Alexis Vega. It should be moved back to its original title. DrKay (talk) 16:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
