Lafontaine/La Fontaine surname page? edit

La Fontaine and Lafontaine both list people with the other spelling. I propose to split people out of both DAB pages and create a surname page titled Lafontaine (surname) with La Fontaine (surname) being a redirect (and a See also link to De la fontaine). There are more articles about people named Lafontaine (compared to LaFontaine or La Fontaine) so I thought that it would be the best article title.

Sounds like the right approach. [I corrected the spelling of the proposed surname page in your comment.] -- JHunterJ (talk) 20:26, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Dyslexia strikes again! Thanks for the correction. Leschnei (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. There are enough people on the two DAB pages to justify a surname article holding all of them, and there's considerable overlap.
There should be a see-also to DAB page Fontaine; which contains a couple of La Fontaine/Lafontaine's.
