I added a hatnote for disambiguation, because as a Sir he could be referred to by any of his names, so Elton John is also a "Sir Hercules". This was removed, but even if it is not worth a hat-note, it may be a notable trivia here. That someone else who has chosen the name 'Hercules' for himself (and also wrote a song 'Hercules' I believe) was also knighted. Considering 'Sir' is just a stage name of the horse (as I do not think horses were knighted) and John's a literal 'Sir', is that at least not worth a mention?

No one ever refers to Elton John by his middle name. There is no human named "Sir Hercules". No one is going to refer to Elton John solely by his middle name. Stop making redirects out of every single combination of a person's or an article subject's name.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:17, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
