Unnecessary disambiguation page that seems to run afoul of the benchmark in WP:NAMELIST; it could be a list of everyone with the surname Letlow. FalconK (talk) 06:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment as creator - these two are the only bios with the surname Letlow. It could be deleted because it is just two, but the reason I made the list was because this page was originally just a redirect to Russ Letlow's page. 777burger (LET'S TALK) 06:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This is a standard name article that meets WP:NNAME as it has two notable bearers. There's no violation of WP:NAMELIST here, as it recommends placing people who aren't known mononymously on pages exactly like these. Nohomersryan (talk) 07:15, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Legitimate disambiguation page per WP:NOPRIMARY. --Kinu t/c 11:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Could be moved to Letlow (surename) or Letlow (family name). Good enough for a disambiguation, maybe not good enough for an article. --Gereon K. (talk) 14:32, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Standard surname article - see WP:NNAME. We have 1000s of surname articles like this with just two people. Edwardx (talk) 15:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep:
it could be a list of everyone with the surname Letlow
, it not just "could" but "should". Surname-holder lists are a standard and useful part of the encyclopedia. If there is just one name-holder, we redirect. The reader may have found something referring to "Bloggs' key innovation" or "politicians such as Bloggs", and, especially if the surname also has uses as a placename or common noun, we help that reader by listing surname holders. (Now, given-name articles are a different kettle of fish, to my mind!).PamD 17:37, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
