John Divers (1950s footballer) → ?

There is another footballer from the 1950's who's also called John Divers, and who also played in Scotland, and won the Scotland Cup for Clyde in 1955, and died in 2005.[1]. This needs to be renamed to something else...

Unless the other guy has an article, this isn't really a problem. PC78 13:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, If there is not another article about the other "John Divers" No name change is needed. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 19:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. --Stemonitis 13:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually agree that John Divers (1950s footballer) is not a very satisfactory name for this article, and that it is ambiguous given the concurrent career of the Clyde footballer. However given that the usual variables utilised to aid disambiguation either apply to more than one John Divers (occupation, nationality, position) or are unknown (date of birth, date of death), it is the best option available at the moment. Should either this John Divers' birth or (possible) death date become known to the project, I would suggest a move to a more suitable name, regardless of whether the Clyde footballer has an article created or otherwise.
