The result of the move request was: Moved. There is a clear consensus thay the proposed title is preferable given the uncertainty over the birth year, notwithstanding WP:FOOTY conventions. — Amakuru (talk) 23:40, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - this source already present on the article confirms the 1964 birth year. As previously discussed, it is standard to disambiguate footballers by year of birth (as also confirmed by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#Association football (soccer)) and see no reason to make this an exception - especially as there is a Mexican footballer of the same name born in 1965, meaning the proposed name is ambiguous. Perhaps @DrKay, Ortizesp, and Lugnuts: would care to reconsider? GiantSnowman 18:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Actually, based on those sources and this, I believe these might be the same people. As such, move to Víctor Medina (footballer, born 1965) which appears to be the correct year of birth. GiantSnowman 18:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support this option as well.--Ortizesp (talk) 22:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I would oppose this option because the year of birth is not certain. His nationality is not in question. DrKay (talk) 18:54, 27 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support as originally proposed, per Lugnuts. The uncertainty regarding his birth year makes this an even easier choice. --BDD (talk) 17:06, 28 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support as proposed. I think this is the only reasonable option barring a good source for the birth year.--Cúchullaint/c 17:44, 5 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
