The result of the move request was: moved to Bruno Silva (footballer, born 1980); disambiguation page moved to base title. (closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

– Currently, "Bruno Silva" goes to a 1980 footballer, but on the DAB page, there are eight other footballers with the same name as well as two MMA fighters (one with more current popularity). Because there are so many people with the same name and new footballers, I think Bruno Silva should default to the DAB page.

Support per nomination. The Uruguayan footballer cannot match the combined notability of all those other men listed upon the Bruno Silva (disambiguation) page. Would also support the alternative form Bruno Silva → Bruno Silva (footballer, born 1980). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:22, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Strong support the fighter gets 11,691 views compared with only 354 for this one, the April 1991 one also gets 570, all the others called "Bruno Silva" get 270[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
support Bruno Silva (disambiguation) → Bruno Silva as there is no PRIMARYTOPIC, but oppose Bruno Silva → Bruno Silva (Uruguayan footballer) as disambiguating by nationality is generally frowned upon for footballers (with some limited exceptions), so instead support Bruno Silva → Bruno Silva (footballer, born 1980).

Support per nom, fine with either birthyear or nationality as disambiguator.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:43, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support Bruno Silva (footballer, born 1980) per usual. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:05, 12 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
