– This is a WP:TWODAB situation, and the soccer player is clearly not a proper WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "David Dick". He seems relatively obscure, and the article about the journalist has had about four times as many page views per day over the last 90 days (despite the CBS News article linking accidentally to the soccer player when the journalist was intended). Also, "(Kentucky)" seems like a poor disambiguation term for the journalist. If a disambiguation term is needed for the journalist, I suggest that "(journalist)" would be better than "(Kentucky)". Comments about whether "(soccer)" is the best thing to append for the soccer player are also welcome. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:56, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The jockey was also certainly known as Dave Dick, and was probably primarily known by that name, per the headline of the obit that is the first source cited in that article. The sourcing on some of the others is also a bit sparse, so we don't necessarily know whether they were commonly known as David or Dave (or both). —BarrelProof (talk) 03:58, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. And Dave DickDave Dick (Australian rules footballer), which IIO already did. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
