Talk:Lawrence Lindsey

Untitled
Unwikified. I abstain on whether the article has merit to remain on wikipedia. - Mike Rosoft 22:44, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The truth shall set you free.
When lindsey tried to be truthful as possible about the cost of the Iraq war, he was beaten into submission and shown the door with a boot at this behind. So much for truth in government. I applaud him for speaking the truth..regardless of cost. Nice to know that principle stiil counts for some in Washinton. You will be missed!--Ozymandius2 18:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate
This article should be merged with the Lawrence Lindsay article - they're the same person. I propose that that article be merged into this one, as this is the correct spelling and form of his name. The two articles both have comments, and independent content and links, so careful thought would need to be given to format. (I noticed this as I was researching for a blog article)


 * Merged the two articles. (The previous comment was also lodged by myself - sorry for lack of attribution!) Orderinchaos78 06:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Lawrence B. Lindsey → Larry Lindsey – WP:COMMONNAME. Lawrence Lindsey would also work but most people seem to call him Larry. Either way, the middle initial is not necessary for disambiguation (both already redirect to Lawrence B. Lindsey). –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 16:15, 21 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Oppose. Looking at several RSs in the article (not to mention his own books), he seems to be consistently referred to as Lawrence.Rja13ww33 (talk) 21:01, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rja13ww33: Agreed Larry might not be warranted but I assume you would agree with getting rid of the middle initial? –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 16:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That would make sense.Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
