There is no maternity hospital in Prestwick. He does live/was brought up there, but I doubt he was born there. It's far more likely that he was born in Irvine. Martin "Le" Roy ( talk) 09:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

James Forrest (footballer born 1991) → James Forrest (footballer) – Should've done this for the last one. Two Jims and a Jimmy. But no other Jameses. Unreal7 ( talk) 23:12, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Number 5 7 10:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
James Forrest (footballer) → James Forrest (footballer born 1991) – this is not a primary topic article, and it is ambiguously disambiguated. The 2013 request is in error, because Jimmy Forrest (footballer) clearly says he is "James", as does Jim Forrest (footballer, born 1944) also say "James". And the "Jim" is also a Scottish footballer. Therefore the current title of this article fails WP:PRECISE as all three are footballers named James Forrest. (the other, second "Jim", does not say "James") The current title should point to the disambiguation page James Forrest -- 65.94.43.89 ( talk) 04:22, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.Not sure where the assist stats are coming from, as the source for the table doesn't include them. I believe that the inclusion of assists was to cease as they are not reliably recorded and something of a subjective matter. Looks like it might have to go?
