An encyclopedia should not have an entry with a clearly fallacious title. In no way is he “D. J. Burns Jr.”. The “DJ” part is a nickname for “Dwight Jr.”, so “D. J. Burns Jr.” would mean “Dwight Jr. Burns Jr.”. His father is not “DJ”, so he can’t be “DJ Jr.”.

The “DJ” nickname should only appear in quotes, to clarify that it is not his legal name.

I recommend the title be changed to ‘Dwight “D. J.” Burns Jr.’ and a redirect set up for the existing title.
