Tom Williams (outfielder) → ? – incomplete disambiguation; Tom Williams (Negro leagues) was also a baseball player Joeykai (talk) 01:46, 10 July 2021 (UTC) Relisting.

  • Strong support per nom, and possibly a Speedy uncontroversial move. We don't typically do "WP:PARTIALDAB / partial primary topics" very often, and even if we did, this ONE-SENTENCE stub wouldn't be the partial-primary over the other baseball player. Thus, "Tom Williams" should 100% redirect to the dab page. ...Also, the fact that this the white player is at the "(baseball)" title but the Negro-leagues player is relegated to the "(Negro leagues)" disambiguator, sort-of has the INCREDIBLY UNFORTUNATE accidental side-effect of making it seems like it Wikipedia feels that the white player is the """real""" baseball player — which, while obviously not at all intended, but definitely a horrific consequence. (This could honestly 100% be a Speedy uncontroversial move – it might be wise to move this as soon as possible!) Paintspot Infez (talk) 02:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nomination and Paintspot Infez. Incomplete disambiguation, indeed. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 09:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to something else. Since he's both a pitcher and outfielder, and (according to the Baseball Reference link) had more games as a pitcher than an outfielder, I think "(outfielder)" would not accurate. How about Tom Williams (Cleveland Spiders), or Tom Williams (1890s baseball), or some other alternative? Adumbrativus (talk) 03:41, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Relist per Adumbrativus and thus change the request -Killarnee (CTU) 03:03, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
