Bearing in mind the following:
- Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Gaelic games/bio
- Dual player
- Talk:Brian Murphy (Gaelic games)#Move?
- Talk:John Bunyan (sportsperson)#Move?
- Talk:John Bunyan (sportsperson)#Requested move
I propose the following naming conventions GAA player bio articles:
- Where not a dual player:
- Usual dab: John Foo (hurler) (or John Foo (Gaelic footballer) or Joan Foo (camogie) as the case may be)
- I think Joan Foo (Gaelic footballer) is preferable to Joan Foo (ladies' Gaelic footballer) where relevant
- If still ambiguous, use the following formats (in descending order of preference)
- John Foo (Cork hurler) (or John Foo (Cork and Dublin hurler) if represented both counties at senior level, and one does not predominate over the other in the popular consciousness)
- John Foo (Cork hurler, born 1977)
- John Foo (St. Finbarr's hurler, born 1977)
- Usual dab: John Foo (hurler) (or John Foo (Gaelic footballer) or Joan Foo (camogie) as the case may be)
- Where is a dual player:
- If reasonably well-known in both:
- John Foo (sportsperson) if not ambiguous
- redirect from John Foo (dual player) and John Foo (Gaelic footballer) AND John Foo (hurler)
- If "sportsperson" is ambiguous (whether clashing with other GAA players or with players other sports), try (in descending order of preference)
- John Foo (Irish sportsperson)
- John Foo (Cork sportsperson)
- John Foo (Gaelic football and hurling) (or John Foo (hurling and Gaelic football) if better known in hurling)
- John Foo (Cork Gaelic football and hurling)
- John Foo (St. Finbarr's Gaelic football and hurling)
- John Foo (Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977)
- John Foo (Cork Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977)
- John Foo (St. Finbarr's Gaelic football and hurling, born 1977)
- John Foo (sportsperson) if not ambiguous
- If significantly better known in one (say hurling) than the other:
- Use John Foo (hurler) if not ambiguous
- If "hurler" is ambiguous same cases as listed above for non-dual player
- Redirect from John Foo (dual player)
- If not ambiguous redirect from John Foo (Gaelic footballer)
- otherwise add a hatnote to "John Foo (Gaelic footballer)" if that's an article
- If not ambiguous also redirect from John Foo (sportsperson)
- Use John Foo (hurler) if not ambiguous
- If reasonably well-known in both:
