I can Support this so long as the redirect for the HOFer is created. Otherwise people would get (more) confused.

Support No-brainer to me, they have different names, even though Isaiah was obviously named after Isiah.
Timmyshin (

Let me clarify. I know that there are articles for spelling variants like Stefanie X and Stephanie X or Elizabeth X and Elisabeth X. However, I am not sure if there are articles for Stefanie Foo (X) and Stephanie Foo (X) or Elizabeth Foo (X) and Elisabeth Foo (X). Is there a policy against identical disambiguants for spelling variations?--

Yes "in my world" there is a difference between a variant and a misspelling. The point is anyone looking for either Isaiah Thomas is likely to spell Isaiah correctly.
WP:RECOGNIZABILITY, and the former NBA All-Star and Hall of Fame guard is also spelled Isaiah in some sources.
In ictu oculi (

In ictu oculi,
WP:RECOGNIZABILITY does not appear to make any statements about misspellings or variant spellings. However, can you tell me which of the following pairs/groups are correctly spelled Ann/Anne, Ana/Anna, Derek/Derrick, Kristin/Kristen/Krysten/Krystin, Stephen/Steven, Allen/Allan/Alan, Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Darryl/Derrill (there are actually approximately 27 spellings of Darryl), Stephanie/Stefanie, Gerry/Jerry, Bobby/Bobbie, etc. I imaging that any of them are often misspelled in some sources.--

Support; the hall-of-famer is probably the primary topic of the two, but either way names with "basketball" in them are a
WP:TWODABS situation, and further disambiguation between them is not needed at all.
bd2412T 02:03, 7 May 2015 (UTC)reply
Support. Even if one of the spellings is an uncommon way to spell the name, "Isiah Thomas" and "Isaiah Thomas" are distinct, so there's no reason why we can't have
Isiah Thomas (basketball) and
Isaiah Thomas (basketball). Hatnotes can take care of any confusion. As an example of variant spellings with the same disambiguation tag, we have two different novels at
Catherine (novel) and
Katherine (novel).

Oppose Avoid readers at
Isiah Thomas (disambiguation) having to do a double take on a
Isaiah Thomas (basketball) entry when the primary topic,
Isiah Thomas, is also a basketball player. "Isn't this the same as the primary topic? Why is it listed twice. Ohhhh, there's an extra 'a' on this one. Sigh." AFAIK, this is the convention when the primary topic and a non-primary topic are in the same domain. See
Jordan Adams, male basketball player, and
Jordan Adams (basketball, born 1981), female basketball player.—

Change "In Game 2 against Washington, Thomas scored 53 points—the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history—to help Boston win 129–119 in overtime and take a 2–0 lead in the series" to "In Game 2 against Washington, Thomas scored 53 points—the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history—to help Boston win 129–119 in overtime and take a 2–0 lead in the series, on what would have been his late sister's 23rd birthday."

That is trivial content and not relevant. You're putting undue weight on that fact.

Not done. He was assigned to Canton to scrimmage with the team for a few hours. In the grand scheme of Thomas' career, this is very, very minor and anymore than a small note in the prose is more than enough.
