I wanted to know more about Dexter Scott King. I had no idea that he was an actor, a college drop out or a vegan. Why did he drop out of school? How does he make a living for himself? --Because surely he can't be living off of his mother and father's notoriety. They're both dead now. Is he gay or straight? Is he a member of Alpha Phi Alpha like his father? |

Dexter Scott King → Dexter King – There is no need for a middle name in the title of the article. The references cited in the article call him simply Dexter King. Surtsicna (talk) 13:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

I often relist and ping the previous mover in such cases to give them a chance to reply, but the policy and consensus is sufficiently clear here that I think we can just revert the undiscussed move, which doesn't even have a move rationale in the edit summary (that's one reason I preserve it above), as proposed and move on.

Work
editThis sentence"Dexter Scott King served as president of the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, but resigned only four months after taking the office after a dispute with her"-i believe "after a dispute with his mother." seems more appropriate. It seems like we could add more in this section too. Mkomboti (talk) 17:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
