Surname template
There is a TfD discussion here: Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_April_28#Template:Lambrecht-surname (the template has been renamed during the discussion and is now {{Lambert-surname}}. It has some similarities to the templates for forenames discussed at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_April_11#Template:Anthony and Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_30#Template:Charles.

- Update {{Lambert-surname}} (renamed mid-AfD) has been deleted. There are about 50 similar unsourced, unreliable, cluttering, navbox templates produced by the same editor which I intend to propose for deletion. Any thoughts? PamD 08:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

More at TfD
Following the deletion of six templates, another 30 have now been nominated for deletion: see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 May 17#Surname navbox templates, continued. PamD 13:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_May_24#Surname_navbox_templates,_part_three for the final batch. Now I'll have a look at some of the other categories of unhelpful surname navbox templates. PamD 20:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Khouri
Khouri seems a bit of a mess at present - the list of nameholders is in no obvious order. There was a major change to the article in Dec 2020 with the summary "This article is about the LEVANTINE Khoury. Including people with the same or similar last name may only be included here if they have the same origin Levantine origin. Including a bunch of disambiguations that point to a surname that has nothing to do to its Levantine counterpart/variant defeats the purpose of this article.", at which point the structure was changed from a list split into differently-spelled names to a single list of indecipherable ordering.
The initial section, about the history etc of the name, has a single source which includes one relevant phrase: "Among Lebanese and other Arabic-speaking Christians a common surname is Khoury, an Arabic word for "priest" ... ", but has no sources to support the rest of its content. PamD 15:39, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
RfC at Vladimir (name)
Should the "Presidents and prime ministers" section have removed from it the lists of military campaigns as “one of the principal commanders” against each name? Comment here. DeCausa (talk) 08:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Organization of Reed (name)
Is there any reason why the list of names at Reed (name) has information in the opposite order from virtually every other list of names in Wikipedia?
A typical snippet from the page looks like this:
- United States (1910–2014) H. Owen Reed
- England (1914–1986) Henry Reed (poet)
- Chile (1915–1958) Enrique Reed
- United States (1916–2000) Janet Reed
- United States (1916–2001) Walter Reed (actor)
- United States (1916–2002) Ola Belle Reed
- England (1916–2010) John Reed (actor)
- United States (1917–2007) Stanley Foster Reed
- Ireland (1919–1974) Maxwell Reed
- United States (1919–2015) Paul Reed (artist)

- @BD2412: Let's ask @Ceyockey:, who reorganised it into that now-unusual format in 2008 after copying a more standardly-arranged list from Reed. PamD 18:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Brayan
General question as to if anyone has insight about the given name Brayan? I ask because I recently populated the page Brayan with notable people who have that given name, by doing a search using the look from template. Oddly (to me), every person with that given name who has an article on Wikipedia is a sports figure. They are predominantly footballers (soccer players), plus a few other sports, but there is not a single example of a non-sports figure out of the 40 or so biographical articles. It also looks to be a relatively "new" name, as all of those people were born in the 1980s or later. Seems unusual, so thought I'd ask. Dmoore5556 (talk) 05:45, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
