Dawodu

Maybe the article on the surname should remain, but I'm not even sure of that. The list of names appears non-notable. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I deleted persons without notability potential. - 7-bubёn >t 22:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Query - could someone direct me to WP guidance on surnames as entries? J L G 4 1 0 4 04:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The etymology, translations, pronunciations, and so forth of a noun, proper or common, can be handled at Wiktionary. Surname articles are essentially name disambiguations. People are often commonly known, or referred to, by solely their family names. Therefore surname articles disambiguate amongst all of the people with that surname, and link to Wiktionary with {{wiktionary}}, or even explicitly in the introduction, for the dictionary entry on the proper noun. See Busch, for example. Uncle G (talk) 04:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Uncle G. It looks like this should be a disambig page, but I'm still new and not sure how to do that. I would recommend (not knowing the technical term): turn into disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlg4104 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
