  • Eh? Not a bio of any sort. Burgundavia's comment presumably refers to a much earlier and probably unrelated article of this name, but I can't find a record of it. Flapdragon 04:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, this is not a dictionary of first names. (As opposed to a proper disambiguation page which this page isn't.) Flapdragon 04:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment It's now a list of "famous" people called Geoff or Jeff, taken from
    IMDB.com, which is linked to three times although its relevance to the name Geoff is hard to see. One example of a "famous" person called Jeff is simply "Jeff", and I don't know if any of them are famous enough to have an article of their own in Wikipedia. What's the point of this list (which should really be called "List of people called Geoffrey or Jeffrey or Geoff or Jeff who have worked in the movies") and how has it been "majorly fixed"?

• This isn't a
  Madonna, there aren't people commonly known solely by their given name Geoff. Disambiguations are for actual ambiguities, where articles (or redirects) have titles that conflict. This isn't the case for any of these people. And the dictionary of first names is over there. Delete. Uncle G 01:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Delete For reasons state above by Flapdragon. I fail to see what this article contributes. Are we going to come up with lists of randomly assorted people from IMDB for the iterations of Sean or Catherine? DeathThoreau 02:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Flapdragon. Stifle 23:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
