Uncited article duplicating an existing DAB page (Lancashire (disambiguation)) without adding any new content. Seemingly a recreation of a CSD G6 page which was deleted last month, but adds no content to assert that the topic of the surname itself is notable.

• Keep. This is a perfectly normal surname page, like thousands of others. The duplication is easily fixed; I've replaced the entries on the dab page with a link here. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• There's even a category specifically for this kind of surname: Category:English toponymic surnames. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. As above, standard surname page, like many others. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• OK, thank you both. I concede that the change made by Clarityfiend resolves the duplication, and the format of this type of page (even with so few entries), is a valid one. I've withdrawn the nomination. Nick Moyes (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
