Requested move 27 August 2023

The following is a closed 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Per consensus, the articles will be moved to Thomas Butler (footballer, born 1981) and Tom Butler (footballer, died 1923) respectively. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 16:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– There are some sources found in the article about the later Butler who opt to name him Tom and I suspect if anyone tries searching for a footballing "Tom Butler", they would not expect to find the earlier 1920's one. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, makes sense. The base pages should be redirected to Thomas Butler#Sports. Giant Snowman 13:37, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose of second move. There is no possessive. O.N.R. ^(talk) 17:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thomas Butler (footballer, born 1981) and Tom Butler (footballer, died 1923). When we only have a YOD there's no problem using it. It doesn't have to be consistent with the other article as it provides clear disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support this alternative. SwansElite (talk) 09:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
