Identify people named Olin who are reasonably known as "Olin"[edit]

As per MOS:DABNAME and WP:APOS, I have tried where possible to move all people named Olin to Olin (name), to clear up the purpose of this disambiguation page. However, so many people have the name Olin that I believe some of them (the ones that could be reasonably expected to be known only as "Olin") should be listed here as well. From the number of notable things named after them, I believe at least Franklin W. Olin and John M. Olin should be listed here. Here is the full list of names I removed from this page (not all people listed at Olin (name):

Abram B. Olin, U.S. Representative from New York
Bob Olin, American boxer
Dave Olin, Democratic Farmer Labor Party, Minnesota House of Representatives
Elisabeth Olin, Swedish opera singer
Franklin W. Olin, founder of Olin Corporation
Gideon Olin, U.S. representative from Vermont
Henry Olin, U.S. Representative from Vermont
Jim Olin, U.S. Representative from Virginia
Johan Olin, Finnish Olympic wrestler
John Olin, American professional wrestler
John M. Olin, Chairman of Olin Corporation
Ken Olin, actor, director and producer
Laurie Olin, landscape architect
Lena Olin, Swedish actress
Margareth Olin, Norwegian film director and producer
Nahum Olin, Mexican race car driver and team owner
Nelly Olin, French Minister of Environment
Spencer Truman Olin, American industrialist and philanthropist
Steve Olin, Major League Baseball player
Stig Olin, Swedish actor, singer, songwriter, director
Thomas F. Olin, Chairman of Archway Cookies, Incorporated
William M. Olin, Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth

Should I simply restore this list now that Olin (name) has a much more comprehensive one, on the assumption that these are the people specifically known as "Olin" within their respective fields? Or should we start a new list from scratch? - - mathmitch7 ^{(talk/contribs)} 18:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
