Just to give us some idea how many David Johnsons there might be. <KF> 18:25, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)


I'm not changing the above list, especially since see i nothing distinguishing all three strikethrus from the rest. But at present:

[edit] Removal of Waterloo U Pres

I've removed

By luck, i found UW's next president: David Johnston, bcz it notes that

The Ontario minister of education, David Johnson, doesn't even spell his name the same way.

So i'm adding

  • Johnston, David L., (b. 1940 or 1941), Canadian jurist & academic administrator

to List of people by name: Joh#Johnst and leaving

  • David Johnson, Ontario minister of education as of 1998 for someone who thinks he's notable enuf to worry about.

[edit] Red links removed

Below is a list of the red-linked people I removed, none of whom seem particularly notable to me--but who knows? I thought the list (plus one removed earlier by another editor) should be kept for future reference, in case an article is created, or another editor seriously disagrees with my judgement as to notability:

  • David Johnson (American politician), Indiana challenger in U.S. Senate election, 2000 (1 link)
  • David Johnson (American tennis player), competed in the U.S. National Championships (now known as the U.S. Open) in men's singles 1938 - 1941 and 1944 (5--all from U.S. National Championships list/index articles)
  • David Johnson (cinematographer), cinematographer on Alien vs. Predator (film) (5)
  • David Johnson (DJ), a presenter on Belfast's U105 radio station (1--also mentioned but not linked in the U105 article)
  • David Johnson (journalist), reporter for Idaho's Lewiston Morning Tribune (0)
  • David Johnson (presenter) Northern Irish radio and TV presenter (0, or 1 if this David Johnson is the same as David Johnson (DJ) above--and I'm assuming he is)
  • David Johnson (soccer player born 1984), American soccer player for Los Angeles Galaxy (3)
  • David E. Johnson (political economist) (born 1985), Franco-Texan political economist (0)

I decided to return the cinematographer & the American soccer player to the article since each is linked to a few articles (5 and 3, respectively). Added to the above list David Johnson (American tennis player), and the number of pages (in parentheses) that link to the dab page that refer to each person --ShelfSkewed Talk 17:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Strike throughs returned to page as "What links here"s. Lewiston journalist unlinked from article Steve Hartman. --ShelfSkewed Talk 03:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
