Moved to James Hamilton (football forward). This is a bartender's close - there is clear consensus that the article should be moved, and no consensus on where it should end up. "Scottish" notably is unnecessary as a descriptor since there is no other football forward by this name in the encyclopedia, making this the most concise option. A majority (if not a consensus) of participants in the discussion favor a title using "forward" as the distinguishing element, so there it goes. BD2412 T 00:46, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

James Hamilton (Scottish footballer) → ? – The current title is ambiguous, as another Scottish international with the same name, James Hamilton (footballer, born 1901), has an article. Unfortunately, there is not a longer version of his name which is known here, nor is a date of birth or death currently known. I suggest that the page be moved to James Hamilton (Scottish football forward) (the other player was a full-back) or James Hamilton (Queen's Park footballer) (the club he played for when capped for Scotland, which the other Hamilton did not play for).

'Forward' is best, given he played for teams other than QP. GiantSnowman 10:28, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
