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)
 * 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)
 * 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)


 * 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).  O'Donovan (surname) should be a redirect to O'Donovan family, the actual article on that topic.  —  AjaxSmack   01:36, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

 * 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)
