She's won enough cycling medals this Paralympics I wonder if maybe this should be renamed. I had some concerns from the get go and almost thought of calling this "Allison Jones (cyclist)", but before this Olympics she'd won more medals in skiing. Now it looks almost even maybe. Not sure.--T. Anthony (talk) 10:21, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't it be Allison Jones (athlete)? "Athlete" does not necessarily imply track and field. HandsomeFella (talk) 12:49, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would that be confusing to the Brits? Wouldn't "sportsperson" have been clearer? I've seen that done, looking it up I find a Mary O'Connor (sportsperson) for example.--T. Anthony (talk) 23:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but after reading sportsperson, and finding that the North American equivalent is athlete, and given the fact the she's American, I think this could be ok. Mary O'Connor is from Ireland. HandsomeFella (talk) 06:25, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, it's fine then.--T. Anthony (talk) 07:27, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

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: Moved. In the future, a non-controversial move like this could've just been listed as a technical move, or better yet, simply boldly done oneself. (non-admin closure) Red Slash 15:17, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Allison Jones (skier) → Allison Jones (athlete) – Allison Jones is a Paralympic skier and cyclist. Feels awkward when you add the current link to cyclism pages, almost like you're intentionally doing something wrong. I suggest this rename, since "athlete" does not necessarily imply track and field. This is just a proposal, other suggestions are welcome. HandsomeFella (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move: I agree with HandsomeFella of Allison Jones there is only a composer so althlete is ok until there isn't another with the same name. Stigni (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
