Notice

This is a combination of the most common name and surname in the USA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.32.149 (talk) 23:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That info could appear in an article, say James Smith (name), if one could survive AfD. But (in contrast to John Smith (name)) that seems improbable.
It may not appear on a Dab page such as the accompanying Dab.
