| Persons who have the ambiguous term as surname or given name should be listed in the body of the disambiguation page if they are frequently referred to simply by the single name (e.g., [[Elvis]], [[Shakespeare]]). For short lists of name holders, new sections of ''Persons with the surname Xxxx'' or ''Persons with the given name Xxxx'' can be added below the main disambiguation list. For longer lists, create an [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards|anthroponymy list article]] and link to it from the disambiguation page. If it isn't clear that the article includes a list, consider mentioning that in the description.

| For example:
| |
| *[[Marilyn (given name)]], a female given name (including a list of persons with the name)
| |
| *[[Dylan (name)]], a given name and a family name (including a list of persons with the name)

| Articles {{em|only}} listing persons with a certain given name or surname, known as anthroponymy articles, are {{em|not}} disambiguation pages, and this Manual of Style does not apply to them. Anthroponymy articles follow [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards|their own style standards]]. For those articles, do {{em|not}} use {{tlx|disambig}} or {{tlx|hndis}}, but {{tlx|given name}} or {{tlx|surname}} instead.
