Handful of surnames?[edit]

Why are there only a handful of surnames in this category? This situation seriously undermines the credibility of our encyclopedia. Breaking our category structure without any plan or action to substitute a proper categorization system is inexcusable, and must be rectified immediately!

"This category should not contain name lists and/or generic disambiguation pages..."[edit]

...Except it does.. in fact the large majority are simple name lists and/or generic disambig pages. At least Jensen (surname) and Jacobsen (surname) give some encyclopedic information about the names but all the rest are just set indexes. The category header should be removed as obviously the scope has grown. -- œ 10:25, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
