Requested move 28 December 2015

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. The consensus is that the proposed title is most in line with our standard naming practices. Jenks24 (talk) 09:17, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of people with surname O'Donovan → O'Donovan (surname) – "List of people with surname _____." does not follow Wikipedia's title guidelines. Along with the move, let's additionally rewrite the article completely to fit Wikipedia's disambiguation standards, as well as including Template:Disambiguation or a similar template at the bottom of the page. Let's split the article between O'Donovan (surname) and Donovan (surname) please. Philmonte101 (talk) 08:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support WP:SNOW This seems likely to be a uncontroversial request that could be executed immediately (target is a redlink, so no admin assistance is needed). Plantdrew (talk) 16:54, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just wanted to make a fair discussion first, since there may have been a reasonable reason the creator chose this title, there may have been oppositions. I always want to present all sides of the argument. Philmonte101 (talk) 18:05, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose without changes to existing articles. List of people with surname O'Donovan is a list, not an article, and attempts to make it a real article would duplicate material at another article, namely O'Donovan family (where O'Donovan directs and from which this article, List of people with surname O'Donovan, was originally split[1]). O'Donovan (surname) should be a redirect to O'Donovan family, the actual article on that topic. — AjaxSmack 01:36, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per naming conventions. JIP | Talk 20:20, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per naming conventions. This appears to be written as typical name DAB pages are. And moving this from an article title in a LIST to DAB style would seem preferred. Tiggerjay (talk) 04:39, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
