Move discussion at Talk:David Rodríguez Sánchez#Requested move 17 June 2020

Greetings, there is an ongoing move discussion happening at Talk:David Rodríguez Sánchez#Requested move 17 June 2020. I am posting here to invite more discussion after relisting for another 7 days. It may be the first case of implementing the RfC immediately above. As a side note, it produces a case where [[<Name> (<Nationality> soccer player)]] is required over [[<Name> (<Nationality> soccer)]], which was a minor point of discussion above.

Currently there are no formal instructions for disambiguating basketball people. Per consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Basketball#Biography_naming_convention, I propose formalizing it and adding the following for basketball:

When there are multiple people with the same name, and one of them is notable in basketball, disambiguate that person using (basketball). Example: Anthony Bennett (basketball)
If there are multiple basketball people with the same name, but they have different roles, disambiguate by their job responsibility. Examples: Larry Miller (basketball player), Roy Williams (basketball coach)
If there are multiple basketball people with both the same name and overlapping roles, disambiguate by their birth year. Example: Jason Williams (basketball, born 1975)
