We already have another article that could be described as a footballer, the rugby footballer. Thus this fails WP:CRITERIA"Precision – The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject and distinguishes it from other subjects" as it does not does not distinguish between football codes, as rugby players, Aussie-rules players, etc are all called "footballer" -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 04:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That has nothing to do with failing WP:PRECISE, that only has to do with the choice of article disambiguator, not whether the choice of disambiguator is ambiguous. NCSP does not say that "footballer" does not mean a rugby player, only that you should not use it to title a rugby player article. This title is still ambiguous, as almost all readers of Wikipedia do no memorize NCSP. Only people who memorize NCSP would know that footballer would never title a rugby player article. While in the world at large, "footballer" is used to refer to rugby player as well as Aussie-rules and association football, and is thus 'ambiguous to the readership'. It is easily shown that this is the case in the real world outside of Wikipedia. [1][2][3][4][5][6] -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 19:48, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
