Would not be able to return to U.S.?

I see mention of problems with citizenship and passport. Elsewhere, I heard comment that he was concerned about not being able to re-enter U.S. if he left, and is this comment worked in here? Carlm0404 (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

emigrated illegally

Is this necessary at the opening of the lead? It reads very awkwardly. Many people began in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 22:17, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and seriously, this article needs a massive rewrite, and this webpage ^[1] is very helpful in clearing up the misconceptions and myths about the Colonel. 220.244.15.201 (talk) 03:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Colonel Van Kuijk

Tom Parker was a fictional name. We should probably stop referring to him as that.

article title

Shouldn't this article be at "Tom Parker (entrepreneur)" since the "colonel" is an (honorary) title? —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:46, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We use the name someone is mostly known for. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We don't, however, normally include titles (honorary or substantial) in article titles even when a person is commonly known with their title. There are some exceptions but I'm not sure this article qualifies for being one of them. I will raise the question on the BLP articles discussion page.
