John Fischer (baseball) → John Fischer (pitcher) – We also have John Fisher (baseball owner), so this move would clarify the pitcher as a pitcher. This disambiguator is not new; see also Will Smith (pitcher). 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 15:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC) Changed requested retitling. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 19:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: the initial proposal, John Fischer (baseball) → John Fisher (pitcher), has been placed here so the RMCD bot can read this request correctly. Pinging O.N.R. and 162 etc., who both !voted below before this proposal was altered. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 22:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support move. Sources tend to spell his name Fisher, not Fischer. O.N.R. (talk) 17:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh I didn’t notice the “c” in the title; I’d support John Fischer (pitcher) as a title as well. Thank you for bringing this up, O.N.R. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 17:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. His own obituary, as well as other sources, use "Fischer"; I don't see an overwhelming WP:COMMONNAME case here. 162 etc. (talk) 19:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
