Support per nomination. Uncontroversial technical request. Ben Collins (soccer) is incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to the Ben Collins dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support the 2000 one gets 166 views compared with only 39[[1]] for the 1961 one though there was a spike for the 2000 one the the 21st. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support - similar to how Jota (Spanish footballer) was originally Jota (footballer) because in both cases there was only one of them at time of page creation, now there's more of the same name who play the same sport, it makes sense for Ben Collins (soccer) to redirect to Ben Collins like "Jota (footballer)" is now a redirect to Jota. It looks like American variety should remain even though it appears he was born in Liberia who uses "football". Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:48, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
