Birdsall → Birdsall (surname) – DAB from the places (of which there are more), they probably have more long-term significance than the surname. A Google search doesn't show any results for the surname or anyone with it. The surname originates from the place in Yorkshire. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:25, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support and disambiguate the base page name. bd2412 T 20:39, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC because both Birdsall, New York and Birdsall, North Yorkshire get more views than this page[1]. - Station1 (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I don't understand the trend of having separate DAB pages for people and places in situations like this. If we're going to have two separate pages, this must be moved. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:58, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Moving the dab page (which is what it is regardless of the template used) only to split some of it back seems like a waste of time. Just split out the surname and leave the rest where it is. —Xezbeth (talk) 15:15, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well this page has been formatted as a surname article instead of a DAB since July 2013. I'd say its easier to just move the existing page and create a new DAB but I don't really mind either way. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Like others have mentioned, I don't see the value in having two different DAB pages. Calidum 21:45, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom and create a separate dab page. A set index article is not a disambiguation page. (Disclosure: I've just edited this article to add about a dozen or so entries.) PC78 (talk) 16:23, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
