– This current title does not disambiguate adequately. Coincidentally, both of these footballers named Jamie Reid are British and both born in 1994, however (Scottish footballer) is sufficient disambiguation as the other footballer is not Scottish. As birth years cannot be used here, the other footballer must have an alternative disambiguator potentially similar to Scottish - though it is not simple as he is seemingly English-Northern Irish according to the article. The demonym for Northern Ireland is a bit of a can of worms, as there is none listed on its article, and "British" or "Irish" are debated. However, an alternative solution would be to just ignore this and go with (English footballer) as he was born in England and plays for an English team. Though to be entirely neutral and consistent, (footballer, born January 1994) and (...July 1994) could be used. Lazz_R 16:30, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Jamie Reid (footballer, born July 1994) and Jamie Reid (footballer, born January 1994) respectively should work, as I think it follows the usual naming convention we have for footballers.--Ortizesp (talk) 17:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
