List of people with the given name Sarah or Sara

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per WP:NOTDIR, which prohibits "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional)." I fail to see how being called "Sarah or Sara" is a significant enough connection between these people for there to be a listing of them. A listing of all people named Sarah would be too long to be navigationally useful, and unlikely to be used. Special:PrefixIndex/Sarah and Special:PrefixIndex/Sara can be used to list all the people named Sarah/Sara who have articles, and do not require to be updated.

 * Keep and turn into a disambiguation page (or merge with one if one already exists). ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 06:59, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Only persons known by the name Sarah alone (cf. "Elvis") should be on the disambiguation page Sarah (disambiguation), see MOS:DABNAME. These full names are mostly not ambiguous, and any that are should have separate DAB pages like Sarah Thomas. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:09, 17 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge back to Sarah (given name). Apparently split on 15 December 2008 (along with List of fictional characters named Sarah or Sara, also at AfD), but no edit summary was used. See --Tothwolf (talk) 07:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge per Tothwolf. WP:NOTDIRECTORY applies. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and DO NOT Merge - per original nomination, has no utility and violates NOT#DIR with no justification. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:47, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a directory of loose items around a random name. That's what search engines are for - frankieMR (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete prohibited list per WP:NOTDIR. Doczilla  STOMP! 08:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I used to argue for lists of most notable people with a name, within Anthroponymy articles; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Archive 6 if you can be bothered. Now I acknowledge that popular names result in a hopeless case that can never be comprehensive, nor have consensus on selection. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:04, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
