re: Wayne Gladstone
There does not necessarily have to be a "Wayne Gladstone" on the disambiguation page for a redirect to that page to be appropriate. Redirects serve many purposes. One of those is to help a hypothetical future reader find, if not the perfect article, then at least the closest article that we have on a given topic. It is reasonable to suppose that a reader looking for an article on a "Wayne Gladstone" would find the disambiguation page then next best thing, on the hypothesis that the surname part of their search is more notable and memorable and that the reader might actually be thinking of a slightly different given name. The disambiguation page shows what articles we have with similar titles. (The new search engine complements but does not entirely replace that function.)

More than that, however, there is a credible (though unsourced) allegation on Talk:Gladstone (humorist) that the subject's given name is, in fact, Wayne. If that assertion can be sourced, then the redirect will have to be reverted even further back to a direct connection to the humorist's biography. Whether an actor goes by a particular name or uses a pseudonym is irrelevant. We are encyclopedia writers, not press agents. Norma Jeane Mortenson would redirect to Marilyn Monroe whether she wanted it to or not. Rossami (talk) 21:21, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * He's published recordings of his face and voice. He chooses to provide links on his website to other sources about himself, including a link to the Wikipedia page about him.  He has made no statements that I can find explicitly requesting privacy.  On the contrary, his behavior seems to be one seeking publicity and recognition.  If you are connected to him and know that he does want privacy, then you should encourage him to make those desires explicit by contacting the Foundation directly.  In the meantime, you're going to have a hard time asserting that a given name is sensationalist or a "titillating claim" that qualifies under WP:BLP.  Rossami (talk) 01:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
