– Zimmermann has non-surname uses, also common alt spellings Zimmerman and Zimerman. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 00:37, 9 June 2015 (UTC) Facts707 (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Additional information based on discussion and WP precedents:
Jones and Wong - their primary topics are not what is listed under Jones (surname) and Wong (surname), although their other uses apparently derive from the surname. Facts707 (talk) 22:54, 7 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Roosevelt lists Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt etc. at top before listing other uses and Roosevelt (surname).
Eisenhower goes directly to Dwight D. Eisenhower rather than Eisenhower (name) because the American president is the primary topic base on his being much more notable than anyone else with that surname or any other use.
Huh, Staszek Lem? Maybe I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that MOS:APO demands moving the page, just that if we do, it should be (name) as opposed to (surname). --BDD (talk) 16:22, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Maybe MOS:APO is not clear. It speaks: "They help users to navigate between articles such as the disambiguation page Spencer, the surname article Spencer (surname), and the given name article Spencer (given name)", but I don't see Spencer (name) there.

P.S. I looked thru MOS:APO again and see that it is way far from covering all bases. At the same time I don't see it is worth wasting time to put allll' "{surname}" articles in 100% compliance with any rule: there are tens of thousands of them, and I don't see any benefit. And picking on this single one is a teardrop in an ocean. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:42, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
