Speedily moved, since the move off the previous title has not been stable for any period. bd2412 T 23:37, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Mateusz Michalski (parathlete) → Mateusz Michalski (athlete) – This article has been moved from the page Mateusz Michalski (athlete) to its current naming convention but it should not have been moved. Firstly, there is no such thing as a parathlete. There are 'para-athletes' but not parathletes. Secondly, although there is already a sports person called Mateusz Michalski, he is a swimmer and I feel that this Mateusz Michalski (being a track and field sportsperson) being called an athlete would not cause confusion. If it does then Mateusz Michalski (sprinter) would be a fair alternative as it pin-points his field of expertise. Thirdly we tend not to classify athletes with a disability as 'disabled athletes', they are just athletes, many of them compete in open competitions against able bodies sportspeople.

This move was part of a mass move of all articles containing "(athlete)" as a disambiguator resulting from the move of Sportsperson to Athlete. In its broadest usage, which the community has now adopted, a swimmer is indeed an athlete. If "Mateusz Michalski (parathlete)" is objectionable, how about "Mateusz Michalski (sprinter)"? bd2412 T 20:04, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
- That's fine, I mentioned that choice above. Thanks. FruitMonkey (talk) 20:33, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
  - Yes, yes you did. Done. Cheers! bd2412 T 23:37, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
