– The 17th century Baroque composer, a member of the North German school, is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as per the criterion of long-term significance; in fact the German footballer does not have an entry on German WP. The footballer's page is a very short stub. It needs to be moved over the redirect Christian Ritter (footballer). Aegoceras (talk) 17:55, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Support. I'm not a huge fan of the long-term significance rule, but this footballer's accomplishments are extremely sparse. Powers ^T 19:44, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Support, same, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Sort of Oppose. The nom mentions that the footballer doesn't have a German wikipedia entry, which is true, but until a week ago the composer didn't have a page on the English wikipedia. :) Since there's also a Johann Christian Ritter, I would move the footballer as suggested, but make Christian Ritter a disambiguation page for all three.

I think Johann Christian Ritter doesn't affect it, that page is already disambiguated because its a different name. WP:QUALIFIER says "When there is a usual way of distinguishing two people of the same name, use it". A relevant example it gives is George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush. There could obviously be a dab page and hatnotes as well, as indeed the George Bush articles have. Regarding the two wikipedias, I think the point is that the footballer's notability is small on both of them. Whereas the composer clearly satisfies long-term significance.
