Mark Gray (pool player) → Mark Gray (snooker player) – Despite being a very good Pool player (and being on the Mosconi Cup team for a few seasons), being on the World Snooker Tour trumps this in terms of notability, and would be more notable for being a Snooker player, than a Pool player.

- Support Seems to be more notable as a snooker player. As a general point on multi-sport people, personally I'm quite keen, where we do have a redirect, to use it to distinguish between the two sports. eg Albert Brown (snooker player) redirects to Albert Brown (English cricketer) but most (not quite all) snooker references to him use Albert Brown (snooker player). Not sure what the MOS says on this principle. Simplifies things if it is ever decided to change things. Nigej (talk) 16:20, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. As for Nigej's question, an
{{R from move}}redirect will exist anyway, and the WP:NOTBROKEN principle certainly permits linking to Mark Gray (pool player) from a pool article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:26, 7 January 2019 (UTC) - Move to Mark Gray (billiard player) - umbrella term that includes both games. -- Netoholic @ 04:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- But he doesn't play Billiards, which is a different game. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:44, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. A redirect from Mark Gray (pool player) will both handle any existing links and help any reader searching for him as a pool player. Narky Blert (talk) 13:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
