Dave Finlay Sr. → Dave Finlay (wrestling coach) – While his background is in professional wrestling, his recent acceptance of an MBE relates to Olympic wrestling. It may also differentiate him from his son Fit Finlay, who has since become known for his role in women's professional wrestling.

Why do we need to move this article to differentiate his from his son who appears to be better known as Fit Finlay? Is there evidence that people are regularly typing Dave Findlay Sr. expecting to find his son?--67.70.101.200 (talk) 20:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is there evidence that people are regularly typing Dave Findlay Sr. expecting to find his son?

There is some confusion, because of the emerging prominence of Fit's son David Finlay (wrestler) (Dave Finlay III) CeltBrowne (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - His son Fit Finlay (aka Dave Finlay II) is also a (professional) "wrestling coach" so the term is not an improvement. CeltBrowne (talk) 14:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
