Trina Gonzalez-AMAZING SOCCER STAR! SPAIN! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.252.10 (talk) 05:16, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Within the United States, it is ranked as the 38th most common surname.[2]" This is according to the 1990 census, should this be updated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chalktwo (talk • contribs) 01:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead and update it if you have newer data. The existing quotation has a reference (the [2] part), so it is still correct. - Ddgonzal 21:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

merge lists[edit]

There's another list at Gonzales that partly overlaps this list. 64.160.39.153 16:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– González is immediately recognizable as a popular surname (structurally, it literally means "son of Gonzolo"), as are its minor accent and spelling variants. The surname should be the primary topic of the term ahead of other uses, which will be likely to derive from the surname. bd2412 T 04:30, 25 February 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 10:05, 4 March 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 13:25, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support the move. --Jeonghyeonseo (talk) 11:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can the DAB pages (Gonzalez, Gonzales) be merged as well? — AjaxSmack 02:50, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I would agree with that, given the likelihood of confusion between these variant spellings. bd2412 T 03:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose these moves 2601:541:4500:1760:8F:FFDC:784B:363A (talk) 14:41, 1 March 2019 (UTC) This editor has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]
Relisting note: please can the two users who have provided a support and oppose !vote provide a rationale? SITH (talk) 10:05, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jeonghyeonseo:, see above (noting that an IP can't be pinged). bd2412 T 12:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – there are many uses besides the surname, and we try to avoid partial disambiguation. The current disambiguation scheme serves well. Dicklyon (talk) 03:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting note: consensus still undetermined as one reasonable argument for has been made by the nominator and one counterargument has been made. Other input has been without rationale. SITH (talk) 13:25, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be little competition for primary topic of González (with the accent), assuming the the accentless version is another topic (since it is unlikely someone searching for, say Gonzales, Texas, would type it with the accent). However, assuming this would require that Gonzalez and especially Gonzales not redirect to the surname page. These pageview statistics show that the surname is clearly not primary vis-à-vis the final s and accentless Gonzalez/ses. (The "derive from" argument in the nomination is not policy based and would only be relevant in a dictionary.) Therefore, I oppose the second and third proposed moves and, per WP:TITLECHANGES, question the first. — AjaxSmack 00:57, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- With respect to the accented form, the surname gets well over 99% of all traffic for the term. bd2412 T 01:19, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which is why I don't oppose the first move. However, I also am not a fan of WP:SMALLDETAILS and don't care for the idea of one article at González and another at Gonzalez (and a third at Gonzales?). — AjaxSmack 01:53, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, as you said, if someone goes to the trouble of typing the diacritic, what are they looking for? bd2412 T 02:23, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
