[edit] Disambiguation

This is really a disambiguation page -- it's even marked as such -- it should be merged with the standard disambiguation page. An article called "Daniel_(name)" should probably be an etymological discussion of the name. --Delius1967 19:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this page should contain a discussion of the etymology of the name, and perhaps someone will add one. In that case, it would not be good to combine the pages. The "name" pages - Daniel (name), Anita, etc. - seem to often contain an etymology and a list of people with that name. I think it would not be a bad thing to just have the "Daniel" disambiguation page refer to the Daniel (name) page for a list of people with the first or last name of Daniel.

The problem is, whatever you do, people will start adding names onto the other article. And if you combine them, it will have to contain the etymology and other text on the name as well as the disambiguation part. You can't win...

I have been moving all the "name" pages to Category:Given names from Category:Names, so that they will all be in one spot.--Brianyoumans 04:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The MoS for dab pages indicates moving such information to "List of people named [X]", so this has been moved here (List of people named Daniel). If desired, Daniel (name) can now be an etymology of Daniel, of course. ENeville 00:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization of surnames

In the "Daniel as a first name" section, wisely or not, the names are split into categories--should the same be done for the "Daniel as a surname" section, given that it is quite long.

Also--I think I'm going to name my son Daniel! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.125.212.120 (talk) 17:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Move page?

Perhaps move this to "List of notable people named Daniel"? --HappyCamper 01:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

If they are on this list, then by definition they are notable, as per Wikipedia standards. --DLandTALK 02:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... --HappyCamper 02:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
