Sean Williams (basketball, born 1986)Sean Williams (basketball) — Keeping things simple. There was an article called Sean Williams (basketball, born 1988), but it was deleted. Zagalejo^^^ 06:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC) Zagalejo^^^ 06:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Sean Williams at Cal State Fullerton is the same one who used to play at Syracuse: [1]. We've already had an AFD on him, and I'm not seeing any indication that he's gained any additional notability. Zagalejo^^^ 20:56, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
It's not such a bad idea, but I think we should discuss it more before renaming it to basketballer because it would affect hundreds of basketball articles. For now let's just stick to the common dab method for basketball articles. — MT (talk) 03:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
"Basketballer" seems to be a regional term. It's almost never used by the American media. Zagalejo^^^ 04:57, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Really? In that case, strikethrough my suggestion. I'm just a humble Australian who was wondering why anyone would be referred to as a basketball. It made me think of Wilson. StAnselm (talk) 05:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
In America, most people would say "basketball player", and there are some articles that use that as a disambiguation suffix. However, "basketball" has gradually become the standard. "Basketball" does have some benefits over "basketball player", in that many players go on to have other careers in basketball as coaches, or team executives, or scouts, etc. Zagalejo^^^ 06:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
