Stan Seymour Jr. → Stan Seymour (football chairman) – His occupation might be a better disambiguator here, as it has never been clear whether he had the exact same name as his father. For context, he did not become a footballer like his father, but he was Newcastle United's chairman in the 1980s. The press called him Stan Seymour Jr anyway.

Comment Several Newcastle Chronicle articles refer to him as "Stan Seymour Jr." So I suppose it is a case of WP:COMMONNAME. Dormskirk (talk) 17:24, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - not convinced by the argument made. Giant Snowman 19:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Incomplete disambiguation. His father was also a football chairman. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
