thread_title:  To do list for this article 

message: I am debating whether or not "Top hockey prospects" should have an article section such as "Personal life," adequately referenced of course. In the case of Tavares, it could include his parents Joe and Sarah, and his offseason lacrosse accomplisments. Any thoughts? Flibirigit 09:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a 'personal life' section for this article would be a great idea.  It's a whole lot easier to have a really interesting article about a player when info gets added over time.  For example, this article talks about how he grew up playing hockey on Sam Gagner's backyard rink.  A lot of news articles mention interesting details that may not be included later on in biographies or profiles.  Those are the things that make wiki-articles more interesting to read, in my opinion.  ColtsScore 04:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal life 

message: You make reference to the Canadian Development Model and the exceptional players status as if the Canadian Hockey League make the decision to allow a player to play in the CHL. From what I understand the Branch in which the player plays makes the decision. That is just my interpretation. I would also like you to take a look at Canadian Development Model. I wrote it but it still needs some extra information as well as improved formatting. 
Thanks,

thread_title: Canadian Development Model

message: I don't see any reason why this article should be specified as John Tavares (ice hockey) rather than simply John Tavares.  I'd like to see (ice hockey) removed from the name and put a disambig template at the top of the page for John Tavares (lacrosse).  Thoughts? Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 09:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree, the lacrosse playing Tavares is also highly famous in his field, and I see no reason why either individual has a greater claim.  It is fine as is. Resolute 19:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Your point that his uncle is famous in lacrosse is taken.  However, the hockey player garners vastly more Ghits, news articles, and internal links than the lacrosse player.  I've moved the article -- Samir 07:54, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I agree with Resolute, John Tavares the Lacrosse Player is one of the greatest lacrosse players alive (along with Gary Gait), the article names should stay as is.  DMighton (talk) 21:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no reason why he should be listed as just John Tavares. Maybe when he surpasses all of Wayne Gretzky's record and becomes the greatest player to ever play his sport, then I might think about considering it but I still wouldn't do it. Hell, he's not even a pro yet. Jc121383 (talk) 21:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See Jay Cutler (bodybuilder) vs. Jay Cutler (American football). One might have more press coverage because he plays a higher profile sport, however that doesn't increase his importance or notability to the point where all other people of the same name go to his article (in other words I agree with Resolute). --Yankees76 (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Keep it as is. If the younger Tavares establishes himself as an elite NHL player, then maybe we can take a second look. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 22:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Keep as is, everyone has pretty much mentioned what I would mention. -Djsasso (talk) 23:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm neutral and I know that this doesn't make a difference but; January 2009, John Tavares (lacrosse) viewed 2759 times, John Tavares (ice hockey) viewed 48580 times. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 00:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I agree with Resolute/Yankees76 on this matter. Heck, they are both in the same family and both notable athletes. The elder is more accomplished but the younger is more notable. Keep them separate, neither deserves the page over the other. Keep it as it is.--Lvivske (talk) 03:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Per primary topic guideline you cite: "If there is extended discussion about which article truly is the primary topic, that may be a sign that there is in fact no primary topic..." Unless a primary topic is abundantly clear, disambiguation is best.  There may come a time when JT (ice hockey) becomes the primary topic ... but at this time I do not believe it is "glaringly evident."  As far as function, it appears that the dab page is not burdened by unintended links, so Nurmsook's "it ain't broke" seems proper. As a benchmark, I'd say this discussion might be revisited when he wins NHL ROY (or at least begins playing professional hockey). -Mitico (talk) 19:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename article?

message: Just out of curiosity, what is the standard for changing a player's affiliation? Do you change the page at the beginning of the season? 65.1.233.250 (talk) 04:36, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No. The Islanders decide the affiliation now, as he's part of their roster. -- ISLANDERS27 06:00, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drafted 

message: Could we please find a better picture to use in the Infobox? Those Orange Jerseys were worn for one pregame warmup on Halloween for a charity auction. There has to be pictures of him in the classic Islanders Jersey somewhere. Those Orange/Pumpkin jerseys are a joke.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heavytundra (talk • contribs) 02:20, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Main Picture 

message: I added the fact that John Tavares finished 1 point behind Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars in the Art Ross Trophy race after the completion of the 2014-2014 NHL regular season.
Though he did not win the actual award, finishing 2nd is still an accolade I believe should be in his Wikipedia entry.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Twchille (talk • contribs) 
:Hi Twichille. Certainly a good addition, thanks! I did some minor clean-up to bring the statement more into our typical style.  Cheers! Resolute 20:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Please change the pictures in his Wiki to reflect that John Tavares is now a Toronto Maple Leaf.   He is no longer a New York Islander and all his current pictures show his old team. Chadw01 (talk) 16:12, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Please change the main image for John Tavares to this image: https://imgur.com/kAU70zb
John Tavares has been with the Toronto Maple Leafs for over 2 years now (and is currently the captain of the team), so I feel that the main image should be him in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform. Pennywise134 (talk) 13:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
