The result of the move request was: Moved as proposed. Creating dab page at Paco Lopez. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 01:13, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paco López → Paco López (footballer)
Paco Lopez → Paco Lopez (jockey)

– The current titling is WP:ASTONISH as there is nothing to indicate whether the jockey or the footballer is the accented or non-accented name, or whether both titles are redirects to the same person. The jockey was born in Mexico and likely has an accented name, but works in the US, where the press rarely use accents. Spanish-language sources for the jockey use accents: [1] [2] [3]. Meanwhile, the footballer was born in and works in Spain, where his name is accented, but the English-language sources our users may know him by most likely don't accent: including the English edition of Marca, the leading Spanish newspaper [4] [5] [6]. In short, neither of the current titles are clear on who they're referring to, whether by legal name or English-language common name. 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:C113:2612:313E:9D4E (talk) 12:52, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support both moves. The current situation is confusing. O.N.R. ^(talk) 15:16, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and O.N.R. Also support creation of a Paco Lopez disambiguation page that would list Paco López (footballer) as well as Paco Lopez (jockey), with the accented Paco López redirecting to the proposed dab page, rather than to the footballer, thus avoiding the redirect dilemma that was discussed at Talk:Sócrates#Requested move 28 August 2021 and is still being discussed at Talk:Sobibór (village)#Requested move 30 September 2021. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support this, place DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support 2nd at least, English readers are unlikely to type the diacritic and the footballer gets more views (1,173) than the jockey (173)[[7]]. Either disambiguate both or redirect the title without the diacritic to the footballer. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:40, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
