The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. One Kelly is a player of American football, not an American player of association football. This leaves the other as the primary Kelly-player-of-association-football, so consensus exists that there is no need to disambiguate further.

I’m not sure if that’s necessary since people who play American Football are not rarely if ever called footballers. Based on that I have doubts that WP:NCSP applies in their particular case since I don’t think the other person would be considered another footballer.--67.70.24.141 (talk) 22:43, 19 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
From Footballer: A football player or footballer is a sportsperson who plays one of the different types of football. The main types of football are association football, American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, rugby league and rugby union.

Look at the first three words again and the actual title of the article! A football player can refer to anyone who plays football of any code. But the term "footballer" is not used in North America, even for association football players (who are called soccer players there). -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:15, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Does that matter though in terms of the dab? If football player and footballer are just ENGVAR and have the same meaning, wouldn't it make more sense then to have a more precise disambiguator? Bait30 Talk 2 me pls?12:36, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
This is a solution looking for a problem! The disambiguator for American football players is "American football", not "footballer" or "football player". A footballer is someone who plays association or Australian rules football. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:56, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
