Talk:List of people with surname Brown

Merge with Brown (surname)

edit

Can anyone come up with a reason why we shouldn't merge this list into Brown (surname)? It would seem to be a perfect fit (Given that the potential target article is only a few short paragraphs, and unlikely to get much longer, I don't see length after merger as an issue).

I prefer the practice of keeping very common surnames separate from pages on the etymology, history, and variations of the name, for the sake of having more constancy across the second group. BD2412 T 03:38, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 18 April 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: There's no consensus to move. Although the proposed version is shorter, some editors don't think that "surnamed" sounds natural. Some editors have suggested merging with the given name lists into "List of people named X" and/or holding a unified RfC with the given name ones to determine consensus for a consistent naming scheme.

– Per the discussion at Talk:List of people with given name Alan#Requested move 16 April 2021, "people with surname Foo" is a grammatically incorrect and unnecessarily long construction. Five of the titles in this group use "people named", which is inconsistent with the much broader practice of noting that these are surnames, with "people named Foo" more commonly being used to denote given names. I propose that we establish and stick to one consistent practice with respect to all of these names. BD2412 T 03:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
