`I don't think Sillyfolkboy or Kevin McE address the points I've raised.  :::*Neither of you address the point about misdirected inlinks.  :::*The fact that this article has ``a historical approach`` suggests history of football is an appropriate name.  :::*If you agree a separate football (disambiguation) page is needed, then the question is merely which of the two pages should be at the default name and which elsewhere. :::*Saying the article ``deserves`` to be at football reeks of the danger I mentioned of wanting to show off a nice article to people who are not looking for it.     :::*Saying ``No reader is going to read this thinking it refers to a specific code`` is beside the point.  If the article Paris, Texas was at Paris, it would be obvious from the start that it was an article about an American city and not about a French one; but it would still be incorrect. The issue is not what people understand once they have read the article; it's what the expect to find before they start reading it, which is certainly not a historical overview. If the article was moved to history of football, then it would be just as obvious from the start what it was about: so what's the problem with moving it? :::*The analogy with the guitar article is spurious, for two reasons.  ::::*The connect between different types of guitar is not merely historical origin, it is ongoing similarity. If you can play one type of guitar, you can play most types, and it's not unusual for people to play many different types. Have a look through the articles in Category:Guitarists and see how many begin ``N N is a guitarist ...`` versus something like ``N N is an electric twelve-string bass guitarist ...`` Getting into what guitar(s) a person favours will be mentioned further on. Compare that with Category:Footballers where the link will always be to the specific code the person plays, and if they play more than one each will be mentioned explicitly rather than using the umbrella term ``football``. ::::*Relatedly, there is a huge current commonality between all guitars. The guitar article has ``history`` and ``types`` sections analogous to those of the football article; but it also has further sections on construction and components, tuning, and accessories; i.e. the things all guitars have in common. The football article has no such common features section, because the only common features are those mentioned in the first sentence. Also, the guitar#History section is just a summary of a separate History of the classical guitar article. ::::  :::`
