Will the real Chris Turner...?

When I searched for Chris Turner, the bestselling Canadian author (Geography of Hope, and Planet Simpson), I could find no Wikipedia entry. It seems that several nations have their own version of Chris Turner. The UK, in fact, has and least two: Chris Turner (footballer) and the subject of this article (who perhaps should be referred to as a "football manager" to distinguish the two). Now I wouldn't want to get into a debate about whether a British football manager or an American baseball player (appropriate, no!) should trump a Canadian writer, so let's see what we might do about this.

Proposal:

This page becomes a disambiguation page listing all the notable Chris Turners.
A new page is created for Chris Turner (football manager); the current content of this article is moved there.
A new page is created for Chris Turner (author), with an article about the Canadian version.

Please give me any comments, instructions, or words of support about this. In the absence of strong reasons to the contrary, I will effect the above by January 1, 2008. In the meantime, I will start the page for the author. Sunray (talk) 19:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that Chris Turner ought to be a disamb page. Both the UK footballing CTs were/are also managers so perhaps we need Chris Turner (footballer b.1958) or similar. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 20:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that makes sense. Sunray (talk) 20:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So here's how I see it:

Chris Turner --> Disambiguation page
New article with text of former Chris Turner article --> Chris Turner (footballer b. 1958)
Chris Turner (footballer) --> Chris Turner (footballer b. 1951)

Sunray (talk) 07:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Sunray (talk) 08:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appointment as Hartlepool manager

According to the article, it was announced that Turner would stay as permanent manager, however I can't verify this. The most recent source I can find is an article in The Journal newspaper from 6 August, which states that the appointment was never announced (although I don't have access to the full article). Is the source wrong, or was it confirmed and not announced, was it announced more recently, or is it still not confirmed? snigbrook (talk) 00:27, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
