Merge into Surnames of Scottish origin[edit]

I would like the Wikipedia category Category:Scottish surnames to merge into Surnames of Scottish origin because there are surnames of Scottish origin but Scottish surnames are multilingual British surnames. EuantheEditor (talk) 17:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goudelock[edit]

Why does the Goudelock surname go to some basketball player? I want to learn more about my family name, not some random person with that last name! Isn't that the whole point of this page? 76.202.192.102 (talk) 16:13, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The surname does not appear to be notable enough for its own article here, and only one notable individual named Goudelock currently has an article. There are more specific websites where you may find more information about your name. – Fayenatic London 20:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
