Any relation to John Sloan Dickey?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.42.104 (talk) 00:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
A distant cousin. Sloan died in Hanover, NH in 1951 while visiting the area for the first time, on a summer vacation, at the invitation of Dartmouth President John Sloan Dickey.

The result of the move request was: Moved, per consensus. The Duke 15:54, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
– The artist is the primary topic, in that there are multiple books about the artist, and over 300 incoming links, which can't be said about the other John Sloans ("A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term"). In fact, it appears the artist's article was originally titled John Sloan before being usurped by the disambiguation page. The current title of the artist's article is misleading. The artist is most widely known as simply "John Sloan", as seen in the titles of most books about him (WorldCat, Internet Archive), the majority of references and external links in this article, and the preferred form of all databases on VIAF. Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCP, the most commonly used names should be used. Otherwise we risk distorting/misrepresenting how the subject is accurately and commonly known by scholars, artists, collectors, etc. While there are currently some 300+ incoming article links, a good portion can be rectified by a single change to {{Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame}}. Wikipedia should not be out of touch with common usage everywhere else. If it is determined that the artist is not the primary topic, then John French Sloan should be moved to John Sloan (artist), per reasoning above. --Animalparty! (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
"John Sloan" artist
returns ~198,000 results versus ~50,000 for "John French Sloan"
. In any case, Google hits are poor metrics: you get tons of blogs, Wikipedia mirrors, student websites, and other unreliable sources, none of which matter as references. There's also good chance that the long-standing title of this article has influenced usage among less reputable sources. --Animalparty! (talk) 05:06, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
