– Both football players go by David Long Jr., both were born in the same year...think this proposal is the best option. APM (talk) 10:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's not true that both players are referred to as David Long Jr. David Long Jr. is referred to that way in 6 of the 7 ref and external links in his article, while David Long (American football) is referred to as David Long in 8 of the 9 ref and external links in his article. Readers are more likely to know them by those names than by the month they were born. The hatnotes are sufficient to take care of any confusion. Station1 (talk) 03:32, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Station. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:51, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
