Why do we need this page? Geoffrey Chaucer isn't the only "Chaucer" there's ever been, and anyone searching on "Chaucer" is going to find the article "Geoffrey Chaucer," so wouldn't it make more sense to search on "Chaucer" to find any unlinked references to Geoffrey Chaucer in the articles and simply link them to that page? -- isis 14 Sep 2002

The reason we need this page is that people will continue to write things like "as described by Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales" in the future - of course, if you want to go around and point all of the links to here to Geoffrey Chaucer instead, then you're welcome to do so, but this page is going to be useful in the long run, because I'm sure new links will end up pointing here.
If there is another famous Chaucer, then this page should be a disambiguation page, but I can't think of any myself. --Camembert
