Comment

What on earth is Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet doing listed as a Deaf person? He was not Deaf. Never. Not even hard of hearing. but if his mother was deaf he should have been affected by his moms deases or sickness or whatever it was!

Saints banner and category

Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church in the United States of America), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 19:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Gallaudet (1822–1902) → Thomas Gallaudet — — Presently a dab page, with clumsy disambiguation for one entry (this one) and a middle name for the other. Simply move this page and add {{for}} at the top for the other use. — —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It looks like the father is always known as Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and the son as Thomas Gallaudet. No need for a dab page for only two entries. In any case, life dates are almost always the worst qualifier and not recommended. Station1 (talk) 22:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is essentially what I wanted to say, except more eloquently. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:17, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose/comment It seems that Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet is by far the more notable of the two, including a namesake university, statue, and stamp. While Station1 says that the father is always known by his full name, I don't think it takes a stretch of the imagination to say that many people searching for "Thomas Gallaudet" may be looking for Hopkins. I agree that the date qualifier is hardly ideal and would like to see something a bit more practical, but I'd like to see a redirect from Thomas Gallaudet to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, and {{Otheruses}} on that page to point to the son's new article.
