Coleridge → Coleridge (disambiguation) – In the same manner that Wordsworth redirects to William Wordsworth, Keats to John Keats and Dickens to Charles Dickens, so should Coleridge redirect to Samuel Taylor Coleridge who is most frequently referenced by his surname.

- Tentative oppose until some evidence is given that this is "more likely than all the other topics combined" to be searched for or "substantially greater enduring notability and educational value". Citing other examples that exist is not evidence that this topic is an appropriate primary redirect. -- Netoholic @ 07:03, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Across passage of centuries (and putting aside such mononyms as Erasmus, Paracelsus or Molière), the historical surnames already existing as direct links — Shakespeare, Descartes, Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc — speak for themselves. We know who they are and each of us can make a decision based on that knowledge. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, another list of names. Still no evidence related to Coleridge. -- Netoholic @ 07:57, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

- Support. Seems like a pretty obvious primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support, appears to be the only ubiquitous name-holder and much more prominent than the others. Most of the other entries get very little page views, only his children get a decent amount and they are still dwarfed by Coleridge's article. —Xezbeth (talk) 13:53, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support per both the nom and discussion reasoning. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:20, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
