Steve Miller (linesman) → Steve Miller (ice hockey) – better to disambiguate by sport rather than by role Joeykai (talk) 18:32, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I'll note that Category:National Hockey League officials has several instances of (linesman) or (referee). Does WP:HOCKEY have a take on this? 162 etc. (talk) 18:58, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support Too easily confusible with Steve Miller (defensive lineman). * Pppery * it has begun... 21:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- And also (not related to this RM), there's an absolute rat's nest of incomplete disambiguations here. Steve Miller (musician) could also apply to Steve Miller (author) Steve Miller (author) could also apply to Steve Miller (science fiction writer) or Steve Miller (columnist) or Steven C. Miller or Steve Miller (broadcaster). Steve Miller (American football coach) could also apply to Steve Miller (athletics). Steven Miller (gridiron football) could also apply to Steve Miller (American football coach) or Steve Miller (defensive lineman) or Steve Miller (athletics) (this case) Steve Miller (athletics) could also apply to pretty much anyone in Steve Miller#Sports Steve Miller (business) could also apply to Steve Miller (athletics) and Steven L. Miller and probably several others as well. Someone needs to look through this much more closely * Pppery * it has begun... 21:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'll just note for posterity that Steve Miller (musician), the top-viewed person with this name by far, certainly doesn't need extra disambiguation from anyone per WP:PDABPRIMARY. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 14:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- At the risk of getting even further off-topic, Steve Miller (musician) should absolutely be moved to Steve Miller. Previous discussion in 2023 was "no consensus", however. 162 etc. (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
