Ada (name) → Ada (given name) – There is no information about the surname in this name article. It is therefore inappropriate in scope, mixing a known given name with an unknown surname that could be completely unrelated. The surnamed people should be removed from the article and moved to Ada (disambiguation) -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:51, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is pointless specificity unless Ada (surname) is created. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Why is it pointless? The article should not be a grabbag of names, as the referenced information at the top is only about the given name, and not any surname information. Thus it is not related to the nominal apparent WP:TOPIC. The surname list is a WP:COATRACK hanging on the given name topic. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ. But in any case, you are wrong, the article also contains middle names and surnames. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:23, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The middle name uses listed are just given name uses, and not surname uses. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Ah yeah, of course. Also note that black is white, yes? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:57, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ. Theparties (talk) 06:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article deals with both meaning so should be split if moved and kept as is if not split per WP:APOAT. Crouch, Swale (talk) 23:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
