While I understand that the normal rule is that the stats listed only include regular season stats, this is a relatively unique case where people who don't understand how the system works will continue to change it, since it "feels" wrong. I think using the notation of "0 (1 postseason)" should solve this problem. We can remove it once he gets a regular-season INT. Samer ( talk) 01:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved. Should we see enduring interest, this can be revisited in a few years' time.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 19:07, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
– Page views indicate that Malcolm Butler (American football) has been viewed 5419 times in the last 30 days, [1] while Malcolm Butler (footballer) has been viewed 60 times in the last 30 days. [2] The cornerback for the New England Patriots is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, thus making it unnecessary and inconvenient for "Malcolm Butler" to lead to a disambiguation page as it does currently.

Malcolm Butler – I proposed the RM above back in August 2015, when Butler had less than one year's professional experience. Butler has since gone on to become one of the game's best players at his position (
[3],
[4],
[5]), and he is currently in a contract squabble with his employer, further calling attention to his article. This past month his article has averaged 1,928 page views a day (
[6]), while the article for
Malcolm Butler (Irish footballer) averages a daily rate of 2 page views (
[7]).
Malcolm Butler (American football), which has articles in six foreign language Wikipedias (none of which go through disambiguation pages), has clearly established itself at the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, thus making a disambiguation page unnecessary and burdensome for the reader.

@ Bears247: - There are no sources confirming he has come out of retirement. The source you've cited only contains rumors. The title says he is expected to come out of retirement; the opening sentence says multiple reports claim he is eyeing a return, and the tweet from Ben Volin cites an alleged source close to Butler. There is nothing from Butler himself, let alone confirmation that he has returned to the NFL. Bluerules ( talk) 23:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
I understand what your saying here. but another report just came out today that Butler is meeting with the new england patriots. Players that are retired don’t workout or meet with nfl team, and this is butlers second reported workout in the last 2 weeks. Those 2 workouts being reported, along with is being reported that he “plans” on coming out of retirement should be enough for us to list him as a free agent for the time being. Bears247 ( talk) 01:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
There are two conflicting birthplaces listed for this player. The information in the "Early Years" section contradicts the sidebar. 2601:14D:4000:C840:EC74:CF99:F1FB:1A01 ( talk) 17:35, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
