message: * As usual, I'm befuddled by a wikipedia editor's decision. Michael Talbot is not a notable person? A famous author in the field of science? Please. What are you afraid of -- you're going to run out of paper?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.238.209.10 (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: * Why does Holographic Universe search -- go to Holographic principle?(H0riz0n (talk) 14:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's a more general topic which may be referred to by that name. If someone was looking for the book, they would search for The Holographic Universe. Correct disambiguation is in place. Danski14(talk) 23:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Michael Coleman Talbot → Michael Talbot — Page was originally created on 26 May 2005 On 21 May 2009 (User talk:Galassi moved it and wrote a new article. This has caused linked all over the web to point to the wrong location. It is easier to correct the inappropriate move than have 1000's of webpages changed their link. Galassi should not have originally been moved it with out consensus and discussion. I only happened to come across this and could not find the original Michael Talbot while testing a link of mine. Do a Google search and you will see that 1. his wiki doesnt show up and 2. he is more predominately known and no one knows him by his obscure middle name that he did not use--do a search on Michael Coleman Talbot.

text: Disagree with Move There is no indication that this Michael Talbot is notable.  The Michael Talbot currently at that name does appear to meet WP:GNG. Simonm223 (talk) 19:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

text: DAB page better: change Michael Talbot to Michael Talbot (musicologist) and turn the former page into a disambiguation page.  Put DAB header on this page. Jubilee♫clipman 21:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

text: *Comment: I agree that neither is particularly more notable that the other.  Therefore neither name is "primary".  Jubilee♫clipman 21:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: *More comment: The Google search shows up both of these persons and one John Michael Talbot. DAB definately better. Jubilee♫clipman 21:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I moved it in accordance with more usual disambig practice to Michael Talbot (author) - this meets the objections of those who disagreed above (as it makes no judgement over whether one is more notable than the other) and those who wished it moved (who said the middle name was not used extensively by the author and was not necessary).

message: Why was there ever a discussion about deletion of the article about Michael Coleman Talbot?
Probably his most important book, "The Holographic Universe" was also up for deletion.
To my opinion it is one of the most important scientific books written in the last few decades. 
Recent scientific research done in Hannover, Germany supports his ideas. 
I think it s a bit fishy why these articles were up for deletion, just as fishy as his early death was (only a year after "the Holographic Universe" was published).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.146.76.10 (talk) 00:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it looks like this to anyone else, but to me, this article appears to be under the title 'Michael Talbot (author)' (instead of 'Michael Talbot (author)'). Looking at the source, I can't work out why this is. Can anyone provide an explanation? Robofish (talk) 22:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I tis my understanding after being in direct contact with the author, that this article so often attributed to Michael Talbot himself, was actually written by one Denis Jones, currently living in France.  You can find the article on his webpage.  I told me he wrote it and never bothered to correct others when they credited it to Talbot.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.155.188.57 (talk) 16:18, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
