Comment 1: This consists in large part of OR based on primary sources such as census data and local records. Its tone however is not a conventional "Essay", and I note that articles like Smith (surname) exist even if they are disputed.

Comment 2: Article reads as a history of the surname. Should be structured similar to other surname articles such as Smith (surname). rushbugled13 (talk) 21:38, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

The article needs to be restructured as above. Citations to secondary sources (as at Smith, like Penguin Dictionary of Surnames and similar texts) would be wise.

I've removed the sections which are clearly original research and analysis of original records. The Gotts website is the appropriate place for that sort of thing. I've added a link to the Gotts website at the foot of the article.
It would be useful to have a list of notable people with the surname Gotts. There are quite a few Gotts's who already have their own article on WP. Sionk (talk) 16:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I was mistaken, there's only one Gotts person on WP. In fact, there is no need for disambiguation here, this article should simply be named 'Gotts'. Sionk (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
