– WP:COMMONNAME for both is "David Rodríguez", disambiguate to new standard for footballers. Ortizesp ( talk) 13:19, 17 June 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. 2pou ( talk) 17:04, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Relisting comment: This appears to be the RfC that is referenced above:
Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#RfC: Does WP:ENGVAR suffice for disambiguating footballers from soccer players?
However, the closing comment indicates the parenthetical disambiguators (footballer) and (soccer) should be supplemented by the subject's nationality, in this case
David Rodríguez (Spanish footballer) and
David Rodriguez (Mexican soccer player). There appears to be a local consensus agreed upon here (I would have moved had the RfC not been brought up), but is this going against accepted norms? Am I looking at the correct RfC? Courtesy pings @

If the footballers have different nationalities, use their nationality in the disambiguation; this is preferred over the birth year, when possible. The soccer player plays in the US and has played for the US U17 team, so "American" is most appropriate.— Bagumba ( talk) 07:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
