Untitled[edit]

As stated in the proposed item, Dr. Nicholson is one of the leading figures both nationally and internationally in the drug policy reform movement. He is an officer of two major national organizations in the public health field, is an influential figure in state politics in Kentucky (where he is a Kentucky Colonel, an honor they apparently take very seriously there), and coordinated a research study that may be among the most important in the area of drug policy research.

Where is the evidence that he is a leading figure? How do we know he is influential? How do we know that the study he coordinated may be among the most important? We need references for these claims. Sancho 04:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trimmed[edit]

As required by WP:BLP, I removed a lot of material that I couldn't find references for in the links that were provided. I also provided a source for every statement that I left in the article. Sancho 21:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 November 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. As for the question of having a separate disambiguation page, there was no clear consensus for that so I redirected to the existing DAB page for now. (non-admin closure) BegbertBiggs (talk) 22:44, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Nicholson → Thomas Nicholson (educator) – No primary topic. This has the most page views of the three articles titled Thomas Nicholson, but is still under 100 per month (except for a spike in October 2020). This title should redirect to the existing DAB at Thomas Nicolson. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 22:04, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support create DAB at base name, I think there's enough entries for this spelling variation to have own page.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination with redirect to the existing DAB page of the variant spelling. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Combining_terms_on_disambiguation_pages on variant spellings. Sparkie82 (t•c) 01:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thomas Nicholson → Thomas Nicholson (educator) and would also support creation of the Thomas Nicholson disambiguation page per Ortizesp. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:38, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. No primary topic. Create dab page at Thomas Nicholson. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
