I had turned this article into a redirect to Rohan, Middle-earth#Horses and warfare on January 12 of this year, which was undone on February 29. I can't see evidence of notability for this name; it fails WP:NNAME and the sources I could find are limited to baby name websites and dictionaries, so it may also be a WP:NOTDICT fail. Alternatively, the redirect could be restored, or it could be redirected to Darwin (given name) or Darwin (surname). AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 03:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it was undone, because as already documented, it's an Old (ancient) Anglo-Saxon/English name predating (by hundreds/thousands years) usage by JRR Tolkien and other fantasy authors/creators that in fact use it (such as Warhammer 40,000). Wikipedia isn't a fandom encyclopaedia, so real-world takes precedence. Nevertheless, I think it'd be okay to redirect to Darwin (given name), as in its history there were only forenames (such as Robert of Locksley) with people using place names and professions at the end, which some became surnames later.--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 07:36, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
