Name ambiguity[edit]

I'm new to editing articles on Wikipedia, so I won't - I will just inform you that it should also be possible, under the name name David Silverman, to find professor David Silverman: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/authorDetails.nav?contribId=500092 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hognegh (talk • contribs) 13:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-And also the current president of American Atheists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.3.70 (talk) 11:01, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-Is that the same guy? He looks different in the picture. compare to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BCipg71LbI Tbonetime (talk) 21:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To make matters more confusing, Silverman the Simpsons animator has spoken at American Atheists' convention before. Now I just want to see an episode with guest voice David Silverman of AA. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 03:14, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity?[edit]

It would be cool if someone could find some information about him. I would be particularly interested to know if he's jewish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.119.217.157 (talk) 07:12, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. He is 2600:8807:4059:4800:1DF2:2226:E8CF:8081 (talk) 11:28, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move 25 May 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved, and disambiguation page created. (non-admin closure) kennethaw88 • talk 02:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

David Silverman → David Silverman (animator) – No primary topic or even a clear front runner. The page views of the animator and the atheist activist are very close (9504 v. 8814) and I expect the activist would come out on top once the misdirected hits are taken care of. I also suspect there are a few other David Silvermans, including the author mentioned above, that would be notable enough to have articles. I checked the New York Times and there are about twice as many articles about the activist as the Simpsons animator. I will replace this page with a disambiguation page after the move. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 19:12, 3 June 2015 (UTC) Mark Schierbecker (talk) 16:40, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support, others with article *mentions* such as the redirect David Silverman (sociologist) should be listed on David Silverman (disambiguation) as well as those with article. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested edit[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Can you add the following to the "College tours" section and then rename said section "public speaking" I have a close personal connection with the release's author and with American Atheists.

Silverman also spoke at the 2014 American Atheists convention in Salt Lake City in April.^[1]

I don't see a compelling reason for mentioning this particular visit, when apparently Silverman has visited many campuses and none have been specifically mentioned on this article. If you disagree, feel free to get a second opinion by re-opening this requested edit. Altamel (talk) 04:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
