This disambiguation page that just got created is marked as of interest for this project. That isn't correct, is it? Brianyoumans (talk) 18:35, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Formally , this page is about a name, not a biography. Pages about names are generally of interest to anthroponymy. --Altenmann >talk 22:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, formally, this is a disambiguation page, not a page about a name, like one of the (surname) pages. But if you want it labelled as being of interest to WP:Anthroponymy, I'll leave things as they are.Brianyoumans (talk) 00:03, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well it can be both. --Altenmann >talk 00:12, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mokhonoana

The article Mokhonoana has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. No reliable sources on Google. Run of the mill last name. Not enough information to merge.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
