David Wotherspoon (footballer, born 1990)David Wotherspoon (soccer, born 1990) – per WP:NCSP; If the person is American, Canadian, or Australian, use (soccer). Joeykai (talk) 01:13, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He now represents Canada but, as far as I know, has not become Canadian and as the only other David Wotherspoon is a footballer playing the same code, it not only does not help disambiguation but is possibly a slight distraction. Mutt Lunker (talk) 09:13, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
...so Oppose. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Mutt Lunker explanation. I also note that he is born in Perth, Scotland where "Football" is preferred over "Soccer" and doesn't hold Canadian citizens. 36.77.132.157 (talk) 10:35, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, aside from the recent appearances on Canada's team, he has played in Scotland for his entire career, where "footballer" is the word we use. 162 etc. (talk) 16:18, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 17:17, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as above, born and raised in Scotland. GiantSnowman 17:20, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support On basis he has recently moved to Canada an represent the country in major leagues. 116.206.35.25 (talk) 23:40, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
He has not moved there and he does not play Major League Soccer; not that either would be a rationale for the requested move. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per explanation above. He was played for Canada for a long time. 114.125.12.127 (talk) 21:21, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. He's Scottish born and bred and plays his club football in Scotland, so he's a footballer not a soccer player. Just because his mother is Canadian and he plays for the Canadian national team does not override this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:48, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
