Isaiah Thomas (basketball, born 1989)Isaiah Thomas (basketball) – Discussions at Talk:Tony Parker (basketball, born 1993)#Page move brought this article to my attention. Since this Isaiah Thomas spells his name differently than Isiah Thomas, who is the primary topic at Isiah Thomas (disambiguation), there is not really a compelling reason not to place this article at Isaiah Thomas (basketball). Furthermore, Isaiah Thomas (basketball) already redirects to this page. I think there should be a redirect at Isiah Thomas (basketball) to the primary topic (or the disambiguation page). If the redirect is pointed to the primary topic, it could have a hatnote with the following text "Isiah Thomas (basketball) redirects here, for the 2010s professional basketball player see Isaiah Thomas (basketball), for other uses, see Isiah Thomas (disambiguation)."

This is a case of a misspelling. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:07, 5 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
In ictu oculi, In your world, there are probably right and wrong ways to spell names. I don't really think you should start a category Categorry:People who I think misspell their names. On WP, we just view names like Isiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade and Allyson Felix as alternate spellings that are no less acceptable than Stephen vs. Steven, Allen or Allan vs. Alan, Elizabeth vs. Elisabeth or Stephanie vs. Stefanie.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes "in my world" there is a difference between a variant and a misspelling. The point is anyone looking for either Isaiah Thomas is likely to spell Isaiah correctly. WP:RECOGNIZABILITY, and the former NBA All-Star and Hall of Fame guard is also spelled Isaiah in some sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:06, 7 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
In ictu oculi, WP:RECOGNIZABILITY does not appear to make any statements about misspellings or variant spellings. However, can you tell me which of the following pairs/groups are correctly spelled Ann/Anne, Ana/Anna, Derek/Derrick, Kristin/Kristen/Krysten/Krystin, Stephen/Steven, Allen/Allan/Alan, Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Darryl/Derrill (there are actually approximately 27 spellings of Darryl), Stephanie/Stefanie, Gerry/Jerry, Bobby/Bobbie, etc. I imaging that any of them are often misspelled in some sources.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:55, 8 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Change "In Game 2 against Washington, Thomas scored 53 points—the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history—to help Boston win 129–119 in overtime and take a 2–0 lead in the series" to "In Game 2 against Washington, Thomas scored 53 points—the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history—to help Boston win 129–119 in overtime and take a 2–0 lead in the series, on what would have been his late sister's 23rd birthday."

That is trivial content and not relevant. You're putting undue weight on that fact. DaHuzyBru (talk) 11:29, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not done. He was assigned to Canton to scrimmage with the team for a few hours. In the grand scheme of Thomas' career, this is very, very minor and anymore than a small note in the prose is more than enough. DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

roster

edit

he is currently on the charlotte hornets roster as of now, he was signed to a 10 day contract Kaynepp (talk) 09:31, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Kaynepp: Can you cite a reliable source? Note that something like this from ESPN is breaking news, which we wouldn't use becuase they base it off of anonymous sources. Moreover, they phrase it as "is signing", as opposed to "signed" i.e. past tense, done deal. You can refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Handling sports transactions for more info.

Inside "Early life", the year of the below sentence is wrong, the bet made by his father it happened the year before he was born, so it needs to be done in the 1988 NBA finals Lakers vs Pistons.
if his beloved team did not defeat the Detroit Pistons in the 1989 NBA Finals
if his beloved team did not defeat the Detroit Pistons in the 1988 NBA Finals

please change 1989 NBA Finals to 1988 NBA Finals
