To not merge, as the current stucture meets policy; material has been moved to match the structure. Klbrain (talk) 11:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging

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. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 14:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply

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)[reply

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)[reply]

Not a bad idea, I like that. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 01:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep and Siliconred: Perhaps Lott (name) would be better given the few first names there too. Klbrain (talk) 11:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Oppose.

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

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 [shallot] (talk) 08:26, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
