Based on a Google search, I think someone's just ego-wikiing here.
Austin - The Name
Could someone post the ranking of Austin in popularity, similar to "Luke"s Wiki? 161.225.129.111 16:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Terry Carroll 18:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)]
Re-merge of Austin and Austin (surname)
I suggest these two DAB pages, which were split last September with no discussion or consensus, be re-merged.
- Austin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Austin (surname) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- There's no compelling reason for them to be separate. The pages aren't that long, and lend themselves to being well-organized. There was no discussion or consensus to split the pages.
- Having them split serves no purpose. Anyone looking for someone with a surname "Austin" is going to start here on than "Austin" page, rather than looking for a page name "Austin (surname)." And the link to "Austin (surname)" is subtly stuck in the middle of the page here. Having them split just makes it harder on Wikipedia users.
- It's even mixed up as it stands. The surname page has links on it about Austin as a given name, e.g., the table on populariy, and the suggestion of Augustine.
- Most of the reverts of good-faith edits here on the Austin page are of editors adding in people with the surname Austin here rather than on the Austin (surname) page. If editors are confused by this, you can bet the non-editing readership is.

- Update: As there has been a page move, the current proposal would entail remerging Austin (disambiguation) and Austin (surname). --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Should Austin redirect to Austin, Texas ?
Austin, Texas is the 16th-largest in the United States of America, as well as the third fastest growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006. Shouldn't that make it the main page for Austin, with a hatnote redirecting to Austin (disambiguation)? --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- I am performing this move per WP:BOLD. — C M B J 20:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)]
- Considering how many different cities, companies and people Austin can refer to, I believe Austin should have remained a disambiguation page. Marshall Stax (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with Marshall Stax. There's enough ambiguity about "Austin" that it should point to the DAB page. It is not universally referent to the Texas city. TJRC (talk)
Austin & Macauley
IP editor 80.176.72.212 keeps adding:
- Austin & Macauley, a book publisher based in the UK
to this page. This appears to be a non-notable entity, and the IP editor's only edits [1] are to add this companies name to articles. I am again deleting it, and suggest that it be re-added if and when an article is made for the company. TJRC (talk) 21:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

- Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 11:25, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support. The name Austin by itself does not seem to have a clear-cut primary topic. ╠╣uw [talk] 15:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support same like people said of Charlotte. 120.28.224.22 (talk) 02:18, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. DankJae 03:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support as proposed, lots of compelling evidence in favor of a move. Andrew11374265 (talk) 02:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. No way the city is the primary topic internationally. The car manufacturer would be the clear primary topic in the UK, for instance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:59, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- The city's name derives from Stephen F. Austin which points to long-term significance for the surname. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
