Origin of surname

[edit]

What is the origin of this surname? Badagnani (talk) 04:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

combine Garfield (disambiguation) and Garfield (name)?

[edit]

I think these two disambiguation pages should be combined, but have no idea how to do it.Jweaver28 (talk) 16:13, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– There is no clear primary topic here[[1]], while many of the other uses are named after the comic strip, the comic strip comes from the president (although he is a PTM, presidents are commonly known by only their last name) and his name which apparently comes from a lost village in England. There are also quite a lot of other places called "Garfield". Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:48, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - proposed Garfield (disambiguation) change. Leave it alone. Imo Garfield the character/comic strip is not the primary topic, there doesn't seem to be a primary topic, the multiplicity of different Garfields indicates to me that the sheer numbers in the group itself is the primary topic (and, anyway, all the places are named for James A. not the cartoon cat).

  • Support - changing Garfield to Garfield (comic strip). Shearonink (talk) 05:18, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's kind of two different things to me, so I bifurcated my decision. It seems to me that we're not supposed to just make it as easy as possible for just particular anyones to get to their desired information/article, we should be making it as easy as possible for everyone to get to their desired article - splitting my decision would do that. Shearonink (talk) 05:18, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So if you oppose the first move but support the second, what do you propose to do with the leftover "Garfield" redirect? PC78 (talk) 20:46, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Leave the Garfield (disambiguation) page as is. I suppose make Garfield a redirect to the disambiguation page. Shearonink (talk) 22:18, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We could do that, but then the next obvious and uncontroversial move would be to put the disambig page at the base name and make the other a redirect, because that's the standard pattern. Dicklyon (talk) 00:03, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
