Brian KnightBrian Michael Knight – pro wrestler Roy Bevis used "Brian Knight" as a ring name, location needed for disambiguatory purposes, Brian's middle name is a WP:NATDAB for him. Ranze (talk) 03:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move if at all to Brian Knight (umpire) not sure whether a dab page is needed. Brian Knight (singer) seems to be the main subject in Google Books, he gets mention in our Rolling Stones and Brian Jones articless. The umpire and wrestler are barely mentioned in books.

  • Oppose unless you can demonstrate the wrestler's use of "Brian Knight". That article has it listed in the infobox but keeps using "Zebra Kid" throughout, and lists "Roy Knight" in the lead. That leads me to believe that maybe the wrestler used it briefly, pretty low on the rank order list, and he wouldn't be the primary "Brian Knight" or even a secondary enough one for a dab page, considering the singer doesn't have an article. A hat note at the top of this article would be a better route. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:49, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for now until Brian Knight (singer) come along. Hatnote is more than sufficient for a "formerly known as" redirect. With natural dab and related hatnote there is no need for a full dab page. Tiggerjay (talk) 18:02, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. We don't use middle names as natural disambiguation unless they are actually used to refer to an individual. In any case, doesn't need disambiguating as the other Brian Knight isn't under this name and a hatnote is fine. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:07, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
