Martina (given name) → Martina (name) – This should be made into a combined given name and surname page, a la Martin (name). There are a significant number of people with the surname, e.g. Cuco Martina, Giovanni Martina, Joe Martina, Maurizio Martina, and the etymology is presumably the same as the given name in most cases.

 * Oppose just create a new article at Martina (surname). Surnames and given names are different topics. There's no particular reason to mix and match the two. Martina (name) should redirect to the disambiguation page that will list both surname and given name articles when the surname article is created -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 05:50, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per precedent of (name) articles and also why bother making a WP:TWODAB for two pages that clearly won't be unwieldly together Nohomersryan (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment it's clearly not a 2DAB, Martina (disambiguation) already has 10 articles listed, so we dno't have to make a new dab page anyways. Many name articles have separate surname and given name pages, so I don't see why we need to conflate two topics together here WP:NOTPAPER we are not restricted in the number of articles written, and we don't have to make two different topics live as a single article to save paper. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 03:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. There's no reason creating a separate Martina (surname) page when one page can support both types of names. -- Tavix ( talk ) 03:09, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I see no reason to conflate the two, simply have two articles for two clearly distinct topics. In fact, we can immediately seed article as disambiguation. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * There we go. It seems the surname mainly appears in Italy and Curaçao. That set of locations doesn't match the set of locations where the given name appears. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 20:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
