People generally aren't referred to by first and middle name, so this is a decidedly odd dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:14, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with a makeover. Almost all the people in this disambiguation are indeed first and middle name matches. They would be WP:PTMs as people typically aren't referred to by their first+middle names alone, and I don't see any exceptions from a cursory search of each of these names. That leaves Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, where Herman isn't a middle name, but one of his compound surnames. Sometimes people acquire their second surname later in life or drop their second surname for simplification, but I don't see evidence of either case where he might be known simply as "Charles Herman". That being said, we've got a couple people mentioned on Wikipedia so we can create a valid disambiguation page at this title after (almost) all the current entries are deleted. "Charles Herman" is a character in A Beautiful Mind (film), and a "Charles Herman" was the inventor of the Wonder Wheel. I don't think it'd hurt to include Charles Herman-Wurmfeld in a see also, along with the ((look from)) and ((intitle)) templates to catch the first+middle name people in search results if necessary. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but replace the partial matches (which I've put in a see also section) with {intitle}. Per WP:PTM: Instead of listing partial title matches, consider adding the {look from)) or {intitle)) templates in the "See also" section, which link to all articles starting with or containing a particular term, respectively. I've added the 2 entries Tavix suggested (well done!) and one of my own using dabfix. Boleyn (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarityfiend, what do you think of the suggested option? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 19:53, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw nomination. Enough entries (barely) have been uncovered to make this a useful dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:09, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
