Nicky Thomas (Death) edit

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There appears to be some confusion over how Nick Thomas died - most websites state that he committed suicide in 1990, however no source can be found to verify this, but seems to originate from a "celebrities that committed suicide" picture gallery. One website http://www.blackechoes.net/memoriam.htm suggests that he died in Jamaica of a heart attack in 1989 - again no source can found to verify this.

Nicky Thomas → Nicky Thomas (reggae singer) – Found another Nicky Thomas, Nicky Thomas (rugby player) who could be more well known. There may be more of them in the future. Spud the Cleaner (talk) 15:19, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support Nicky Thomas (musician), and create DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 17:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Agree that Nicky Thomas (musician) is better or perhaps Nicky Thomas (singer), not at the reggae singer title, but the DAB of "Nicky Thomas" should be at Nicholas Thomas (currently at Nick Thomas) where all variants of the name are listed. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 17:42, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support Nicky Thomas → Nicky Thomas (reggae singer) per nomination and such main title headers as Bushman (reggae singer), Ding Dong (reggae musician), Jimmy London (reggae singer), Merchant (reggae artist), Scotty (reggae vocalist) or Simpleton (reggae musician) and would also support the short forms Nicky Thomas (musician) per Ortizesp or Nicky Thomas (singer) per Iggy (Swan). Perhaps a consultation via a note at WT:WikiProject Reggae regarding the use of appropriate parenthetical qualifier for vocalists who do not accompany themselves with musical instruments may resolve the uncertainty. As for base name, the currently-active Nick Thomas → Nicholas Thomas discussion at Talk:Nick Thomas#Requested move 29 September 2022 should obviate the need for creating a dab. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:16, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support Nicky Thomas → Nicky Thomas (singer). No necessity to include "reggae" - in fact, he is best known for music produced in England for which the "reggae" genre description is somewhat debatable. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:30, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
