There is one valid entry, the surname list. The rest are just partial matches. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, as few of these usages are actually noted in the linked articles. I was able to confirm the existence of halm (botany) at wikt:halm. For the Antarctica hills, it sounds like a WP:PTM, it's hard to tell if people refer to these as "Halm". --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:28, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move Halm (surname) to this title, and keep anything else that can be verified in a hatnote or a "See also" section. BD2412 T 14:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi guys, I created both the disambiguation page and the surname article, albeit a long time ago (almost 5 years!). I think you guys are probably right that the surname article should be at the base name. I would do that, and move the dabpage to Halm (disambiguation).

It's unlikely that anyone will add encyclopedic content about the name itself, so what we have is effectively a dab page split in two. But such a split it not needed: there are eleven people with the name and then one other meaning (not counting the hills as they should be removed as clear WP:PTMs: halm is just the Bulgarian for 'hill'). So, Halm (surname) should just be merged into Halm (there's no need for moving the pages themselves: there's no substantial page history to dance around, and both pages were created by the same editor within minutes of each other). – Uanfala (talk) 14:10, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I've merged all the people into the disambiguation page. When I created these 2 pages 5 years ago, I'd only just started editing. I wouldn't do that now, I would just create a single dabpage. Anyway, it's much neater now. I think this is in keeping with the opinions people have expressed here. Dr. Vogel (talk) 19:02, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are some editors who still prefer having dabs separate from surname indexes. I too was proceeding from that assumption when I first started dabbling in this area years ago. – Uanfala (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The hills are partial matches, and the redirect to Plant stem has a wee problem: it isn't mentioned there at all. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:03, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the name to the stem article. Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:56, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
