The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved as proposed. The alternative proposal to move James Anderson (cricketer) is not moved, there isn't consensus for that, and should be proposed as a separate RM on his own page if desired. (Personally I would oppose such an RM, he is far and away the most prominent cricketer of this name, and PARTIALDAB can always be overridden in such circumstances).  — Amakuru (talk) 17:48, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply


James Anderson (Queensland cricketer)James Anderson (Australian cricketer) – We usually disambiguate by nationality rather than the team they played for, unless there are multiple people with the same name and nationality, which isn't the case here, as James Anderson is English not Australian, and there don't look to be any other notable Australian cricketers with this name.

As already stated, "James Anderson (cricketer)" is incomplete disambiguation. If the English cricketer had been selected as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the main title header of his entry would have been "James Anderson" and the header of the dab page would have been "James Anderson (disambiguation)". However, since there are 60 men named "James Anderson" listed upon the James Anderson (disambiguation) page, the English cricketer's renown cannot be greater than the combined notability of the remaining 59 men. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 20:29, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
