D. J. White → DJ White – On White's official NBA playerfile (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201591/), it states "DJ White" with no periods or spacing, much like JJ Hickson. Most other sources (basketball-reference.com and RealGM.com) states both White and Hickson as D.J. White and J.J. Hickson, respectively, but since Hickson's NBA playerfile states "JJ Hickson", matching his Wikipedia page, I think White's playefile and Wikipedia page should match as well. --Miamiheat631 15:31, 27 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

Oppose we use points. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't always - see JC Chasez for example. Unreal7 (talk) 17:38, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think "DJ" should be a disambiguation page, for various artists named White that are dj's or various artists with the stagename DJ White; in addition to this player. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:31, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The only person on Wikipedia with whom there's any real possibility of confusion (ignoring WP:PARTIALMATCHes like DJ White Shadow) is Whiiite, but that can be handled with a hatnote. (I don't see any sources who call Peter White (broadcaster) "DJ White"). 58.176.246.42 (talk) 08:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support I have looked into it and all other players on NBA.com have points besides White and the aforementioned JJ Hickson. There aren't any DJs that have the last name white so I don't see the need to make it a disambiguation page. Since, as far as I've seen, Hickson and White are the only case where there aren't points, and Hickson's article doesn't contain points, I think it should be moved.

Oppose. Such things are just a matter of style and our house style is as it is already. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
