someone should turn this into a disambiguation page for David Bauer (actor) and Father David Bauer. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Was appropriate consideration given to the criteria of "which name is this person best known by?" Since, when Waterloo named a roadway after him, it wasn't "David Bauer Drive" but "Father David Bauer Drive", I think it's quite possible that he's better known as "Father David Bauer" and not just "David Bauer". -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:33, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Granted, it was not a nickname, but you still cannot leave the title in the article. Notice that Henri Nouwen, Karl Clemens, etc. do not have "Father" in the title. Carolynparrishfan 23:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I was under the impression that it was generally Wikipedia policy to omit titles or prefixes, of whatever type, from the article title (provided of course it is the most recognisable form of that name). This is the case with many articles: Francis Xavier instead of 'Saint Francis Xavier', George W. Bush instead of 'President George W. Bush', Stephen Hawking instead of 'Professor Steven Hawking', etc.
I was searching for the specific guideline on priests, and came across Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Western clergy), which gives comments on conventions for Popes, Cardinals, patriarchs and Saints, but, oddly, nothing on Priests. Unless I've missed something, I'm going to bring this up on the talk page there, so that similar cases in the future will be clearer. For what it's worth, I think this page should be made into a redirect and a disambig page created; it seems almost unencyclopedic when prefixes like 'Father' are included in the article title. Only notable exceptions ( Pope Benedict XVI) should ignore this rule. (IMVHO.) Nuge | talk 23:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

The "renaming" section of this talk page mentions a lot about the "father" in his name, but why is it that the main Wiki article does not have a section on why he is named "Father" David Bauer? That is highly unusual and deserves a subsection of its own. Dr. Universe ( talk) 01:29, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Does anybody have any more info on the traumatic experiences that Bauer had?
The first paragraph reads: "He was offered a playing contract by the Boston Bruins at age 15, but declined on the advice of his father to complete a proper education. The experience was traumatic for Bauer, who then committed himself to look for more meaning in life and play a role in world peace." But it's not clear what experience was traumatic: being offered the contract? taking his father's advice? completing his education?
A later paragraph places his traumatic experiences at professional training camp. It includes a quote from Bauer about his early commitment to world peace, but the quote does not link that commitment to the trauma. Can anybody flesh this out more? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.126.95 ( talk) 15:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
