– Coxswains compete in the sport of rowing, but they don't engage in the activity of rowing itself; instead, they "cox" the team of rowers. The current use of “rower” as disambiguator is thus incorrect. I’ve had this tested through a formal move request for Brian Price and whilst there was community consensus to use “rowing” as the dab, there had been a considerable amount of discussion where a variety of views were expressed. As such, I think it’s better to put the remaining coxswains through a formal move request rather than rely on the previous discussion. Schwede66 18:18, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral Rower can refer to someone who partakes in the sport of rowing, not necessarily someone who literally rows. For example, I'd call a fire truck driver a "firefighter" even if they don't literally grab the hose and spray water.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:28, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, so would I, unless they were only an administrator who'd never actually worked as a firefighter. Just as nobody would claim a chief constable wasn't a police officer. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:55, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
