Pointless and unhelpful disambiguation. Some renaming needed. edit

I wanted to find this article, so I began to type Steven Milne's name into the search field. Among the "helpful" guesses that Wikipedia displayed as I typed, up popped "Steven Milne (footballer)". I instantly thought "Yep, that's obviously the one I want", but it wasn't. That took me to an article about a Scottish football (soccer) player. Interesting, but not what I wanted. And I had followed an obvious link.

Both the Steven Milnes we document in Wikipedia are footballers! And we try to differentiate by highlighting that one of them is a footballer? WTF? We must do better.

How about we rename this to "Steven Milne (Australian footballer)", and the other to "Steven Milne (Scottish footballer)"? That would work for everybody. HiLo48 (talk) 22:37, 12 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

The soccer player was originally "Steve Milne", when it was renamed, the renamer stuck the (footballer) on for some reason. Stephen and Steven would be fine, but doubtless there's some arcane WP policy which discourages this.
Perhaps the renamer thought that the game the Scottish bloke plays is football, and the game the Australian plays isn't, because it's not what he knows as football. Soccer fans tend to know the least about other games called football. HiLo48 (talk) 04:45, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
