Identity crisis of page "Schwarzschild"

The accompanying main-namespace page neither conforms to the standards for a Dab, nor could reasonably be forced into a good surname page. I think its content should be kept, but in two perhaps partially overlapping pages:

a surname SIA page

(at Schwarzschild, since the unqualified name is not suitable as the title for any of the other related topics), with a HatNote Dab to ...

a list article, ~~List of topics named for scientist Karl Schwarzschild~~ List of entities named after scientist Karl Schwarzschild

(I'm guessing that no third "contender" for the title "Schwarzschild" will emerge, but if it should, a Dab page with the SIA as primary topic, the new contender also in the main section, and the list in the "See also" section.)
In light of at least

the lack of prior discussion,
the apparent lack of prior attention to guidelines for Dabs (and to the value of SIAs and other lists), and
the value seeing a realistic example of how such a sea-change could work out,

i'm proceeding to implement such an approach while my own enthusiasm is fresh in my mind, rather than anticipate that someone else will at long last be up for discussing what's needed.

At least once an IP made similar changes the article and in de:Schwarzschild in quick succession, so it may be that the past organization of the accompanying page has reflected practice or policy at de:WP.

merge it

10 wikipedia spaces have just one article about "Schwarzschild", all of them being disambiguation pages.

The current split looks not reasonable. So just merge the two - by the way, the German page has a section of items "named after Karl Schwarzschild", as the astronomer had the largest impact on words appearing in the English language. Hence the pronunciation of the objects follows the pronuncation of that German guy. Guidod (talk) 08:48, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
