Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move to George Hutchinson (English footballer). Everyone supports a move in this discussion, the only issue of contention being the nature of the disambiguating term. Support is greater for disambiguating by nationality.

George Hutchinson (footballer born 1929)George Hutchinson (footballer) – There is only one footballer named George Hutchinson with a WP article so further disambig with DOB is pointless. This change was reverted with a claim that it is needed in order to disambiguate from a similarly named Australian rules footballer. A DOB doesn't serve any disambiguation purpose for that reason.

How does adding his date of birth disambiguate him from the Australian? Having his birth year doesn't make it any more distinct that he's not the other guy - it's adds nothing and is pointless. One is the only footballer, the other the only Australian rules footballer with articles, that is disabiguated enough, all that is required is a hatnote.
