Talk:Lott

Merger proposal
I propose merging Lott into Lott (disambiguation) (or visaversa). A merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Lott (disambiguation), to my understanding, and in fact there is already a People section in the disambguation page, so it's not clear where new topics should go.

 * Oppose. See MOS:DABNAME: "For longer lists (of 12 or more entries) ... an anthroponymy list article can be created and linked from the disambiguation page". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Might be worth renaming this into Lott (Surname) and then link. Save a lot of time.   scope_creep Talk  19:35, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea, I like that. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 01:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Lott (name) would be better given the few first names there too. Klbrain (talk) 11:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * How about this: Move Lott -> Lott (name) and Lott (disambiguation) --> Lott, and add Lott (name) to Lott. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 13:40, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Lott is clearly the primary topic, and is correctly listed as such on Lott (disambiguation), cf. MOS:DABNAME. Sam Sailor 17:55, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * WikiNav for Lott indicates that last month, out of 168 views of "Lott", 16 went out to the hatnote. At less than 10%, it's moot whether this voids the assumption of primary topic for the anthroponymy list. WikiNav for Lott (disambiguation) in turn doesn't seem to show me anything right now, so we can't tell where they go from there. Page views of everything linked from Lott (disambigutaion) does have various popular entries, but few of their titles match "Lott" - some appear to be WP:PTM issues and some might be more appropriate split to LOTT (acronyms). In conclusion, if there was an issue with navigation with "Lott", it would presumably be more obvious from the stats, so we should defer to MOS:DABNAME and WP:NAMELIST.

 * The people section on the disambiguation page was almost redundant, it linked to Senator Lott (disambiguation) which included one person missing from the list in Lott - this is fixed now. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 08:26, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
