Jon Brown → Jon Brown (runner) – No evidence that the runner's notability overwhelms the combined renown of Jon Brown (rower) as well as Jon Brown (American football). "Jon Brown" should redirect to the all-inclusive Jonathan Brown disambiguation page where all three men are listed alongside nine other men named "Jonathan Brown". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:26, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support as per nom. 162 etc. (talk) 16:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support the runner has 128 views compared with 444 for the footballer and 13 for the rower[[1]]. Also Jonathan Daniel Brown gets 4,788, Jonathan A. C. Brown gets 1,512 and Jonathan Brown (Australian footballer) gets 1,191[[2]]. Also agree redirecting to the Jonathan DAB per WP:DABCOMBINE since "Jon" is a variant of "Jonathan".

Support per nom and above comment. Station1 (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom and pageview data. I'm not sure why John Brown and Jonathan Brown are separate DABs, but that's a separate discussion. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 21:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support, and either create DAB at base name, or redirect Jon Brown to DAB at Jonathan Brown.--Ortizesp (talk) 03:36, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
