Proposed merge of Schaeffer (surname) into Schaeffer

[edit]

The surname is the primary topic for "Schaeffer". The page currently occupying the titleSchaeffer includes only a link to the surname page, a set of variations of the surname, some fictional characters who share the surname, and some placenames which are derived from the name. The reader will be better served by a single surname page at the basic title, which includes the information about the surname and the list of name-holders which are currently in Schaeffer (surname).

  • Support merge. I would oppose if there were even one exact match other than the surname on the DAB page; but there isn't (apart from the fictional character, which is a redirect anyway). Everything else is a see-also.
I note also that all the Interwiki links are to pure surname pages. Narky Blert (talk) 06:20, 25 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

A recent edit summary says of the "Ancestry.com" ref "First ref is a book published by Oxford University Press", because Ancestry cites it, but the text in The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland under "Schaefer" only lists variants as Schafer and Schaffer. Ah, the source cited is Dictionary of American Family Names does indeed include "Schaeffer", and lists it as a variant of Schaffer and Schaefer. Have amended text accordingly. Both dictionaries are available online to editors through the Wikipedia library scheme. PamD 08:02, 30 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
