Talk:Olin

Identify people named Olin who are reasonably known as "Olin"

As per MOS:DABNAME and WP:APOS, I have tried where possible to move all people named Olin to Olin (name), to clear up the purpose of this disambiguation page. However, so many people have the name Olin that I believe some of them (the ones that could be reasonably expected to be known only as "Olin") should be listed here as well. From the number of notable things named after them, I believe at least Franklin W. Olin and John M. Olin should be listed here. Here is the full list of names I removed from this page (not all people listed at Olin (name):

• Abram B. Olin, U.S. Representative from New York
• Bob Olin, American boxer
• Dave Olin, Democratic Farmer Labor Party, Minnesota House of Representatives
• Elisabeth Olin, Swedish opera singer
• Franklin W. Olin, founder of Olin Corporation
• Gideon Olin, U.S. representative from Vermont
• Henry Olin, U.S. Representative from Vermont
• Jim Olin, U.S. Representative from Virginia
• Johan Olin, Finnish Olympic wrestler
• John Olin, American professional wrestler
• John M. Olin, Chairman of Olin Corporation
• Ken Olin, actor, director and producer
• Laurie Olin, landscape architect
• Lena Olin, Swedish actress
• Margareth Olin, Norwegian film director and producer
• Nahum Olin, Mexican race car driver and team owner
• Nelly Olin, French Minister of Environment
• Spencer Truman Olin, American industrialist and philanthropist
• Steve Olin, Major League Baseball player
• Stig Olin, Swedish actor, singer, songwriter, director
• Thomas F. Olin, Chairman of Archway Cookies, Incorporated
• William M. Olin, Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth

Should I simply restore this list now that Olin (name) has a much more comprehensive one, on the assumption that these are the people specifically known as "Olin" within their respective fields? Or should we start a new list from scratch? - - mathmitch7 ^{(talk/contribs)} 18:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
