Talk:Tom Wood

Red ink

The reason that red ink may appear on a disambiguation page is that people may be mentioned and red inked in other articles, perfectly notable individuals, but currently without articles. For example the Tom Woods who is a horticulturalist is a winner of the Victoria Metal and these two articles link to him: Hedychium coccineum and Victoria Medal (horticulture). Since we frequently have articles linking to the wrong person, disambiguation pages are a way to straighten that out. I have not checked the notability of all the entries on this page, but you should at least look at what links here for the red ink ones before removing. --Bejnar 23:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page is not used for this purpose. It is used when there are already articles with disambiguation names. Why don't you create the page first to pass WP:NOTABILITY and then link them here. This is used to avoid vandals who created non-sense pages. I hope you understand. — Indon (reply) — 06:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a Wikipedia policy or guideline. See the on-going discussion at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#People with "red links", where some people agree with you and some don't. --Bejnar 23:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed Tom Wood (occupational therapist) because there were no links from other pages to him, however the race car driver had half a dozen articles that linked. One can prevent nonsense without deleting all red-ink. --Bejnar 23:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide information about Tom Woods (hacker), so that it can be determined whether or not he is notable. I note that there are still no links from other pages to him. --Bejnar 18:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing a Google search for Tom Wood (hacker). I was thinking of reliable source data. It looks as though he had his 15 minutes of fame and is not otherwise notable. --Bejnar 06:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
