I've been doing some disambiguation work lately, and have stumbled upon what I think are multiple articles about the same subject. David Lewis (musician), David Lewis (academic) and David Justin Lewis all appear to be the same person. Photos here and here seem to confirm this.

I am making corrections to redirect David Justin Lewis to David Lewis (academic), as the latter article is much more well-written, and will strike the former from the dab page. Can anybody else find something to confirm or deny that David Lewis (musician) is the same person, and then take steps to merge/redirect as necessary? Thanks.

Sillyfolkboy I wonder could you possibly clarfy which of the exception criteria, detailed at MOS:DABREDIR, justify the restoration of redlinks for David Lewis (singer), Dave Lewis (footballer) and David Lewis (runner)? In fact David Lewis (singer) is a redirect to Atlantic Starr. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:29, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Martinevans123: I've updated the style in line with what's suggested at MOS:DABRED (i.e. add a redlink and a blue link in the description that includes that redlink). Each of those redlink targets have multiple incoming links and meet notability criteria, so they are useful ones to include. The singer one has been redirect-deleted without discussion, so I'll undo that to trigger a potential deletion discussion instead. Thanks! SFB 21:40, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I see. Thanks for clarifying. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
