Jefferson de Oliveira Galvão → Jefferson (footballer, born 1983) – move to WP:COMMONNAME. Hack (talk) 16:13, 11 June 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:01, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – natural disambiguation by name is better than this awkward disambiguation by profession and birth year. Dicklyon (talk) 22:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Commment - he's not known by his full name, he's known by his first name. Disambiguating by his profession is more useful than a name that is not in common use. Hack (talk) 01:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. He is commonly known as "Jefferson" so the question becomes how should we disambiguate? For Brazilian soccer players, it is nearly always better to use parentheses and a description rather than their full name because their full names are so unknown as to be useless to anyone searching.

Support — he is not known by his full name. COMMONNAME trumps NATURAL in this case. I would support Jefferson (Brazilian footballer), but there is another Brazilian footballer known simply as Jefferson (Jefferson Lopes Faustino). So I support the current title. ✉cookiemonster✉ ^𝚨755𝛀 18:49, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
