Based on a Google search, I think someone's just ego-wikiing here. Terry Carroll 16:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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|links|watch|logs)
Austin (surname) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • 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.

[edit] 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)
