I looked at the ancestry for James Kent and have not been able to find any Platt ancestors, going back to before Joseph Platt was born. So unless I'm missing something, this piece is not correct. If it is correct, it needs documentation. Rgurganus (talk) 23:05, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Platt → Joseph Platt (politician) – There does not appear to be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC between the Connecticut politician and the Californian college president, so Joseph Platt should be a disambiguation page. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:07, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support the politician gets 27 views compared with 19 for the university president and 40[[1]] for Joseph Platt Cooke. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:00, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:11, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. It seems that the college president is sometimes referred to as "Joseph B. Platt", with the middle initial; however, there appears to be a film set designer who also had the name "Joseph B. Platt", so if we just added the initial we'd risk running into later ambiguity. Therefore, a DAB at the base name is the best call. ModernDayTrilobite (talk) 14:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
