Oppose He is the only Samuel L. Stanley on Wikipedia, the Jr. is not part of his name and is not needed for disambiguation, this sets a highly problematic precedent. PatGallacher (talk) 20:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It depends on how the press refers to him. For example, Anthony Davis (basketball) is a junior, but that is not how it should be disambiguated on WP because he is not known as a Jr.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:28, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but that presupposes that disambiguation is necessary. PatGallacher (talk) 00:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. How come there is no mention of Dr. Stanley's alterations of the statistical presentation of student makeup, during his tenure as president of Stony Brook University? At the start of his tenure as president, the university which was prior to his ascension as university president, officially reported as having half of its makeup consisting of Asian students of various nationalities, suddenly became a majority-white university, with minimization of an Asian student presence. This was a marked controversy at the time, as Stony Brook was well-known regionally as an Asian school since at least the 1990s. It was also a substantial part of the universities advertising budget to advertise in India, South Korea, China and Taiwan, presumably to offset the cheaper costs of admission offered to state residents. With Dr. Stanley's ascension, the official university makeup was markedly altered in its publicly-released figures going from 49% Asian to about 10% Asian representation, in the course of 1 year. This may have been done in deference to his Chinese wife. But motivations aside, it was one of his key accomplishments with the sudden alteration of the data of the student demography, and was a vocalized and reported issue at the time.Stevenmitchell (talk) 14:59, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
