Category:Redirects from given names

The pages in this category are redirects from given names. It is used because Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name, or because one individual is ubiquitously known by this given name (other persons who share this name might be listed at a primary topic disambiguation page). To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R from given name}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.
See also the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

A given name is also known as a "first name" or "forename"; it is not the same as a "birth name", which comprises at least a given name with a surname.

Things to keep in mind
Placing a redirect in this category is not an endorsement of that redirect. If it points to what you feel is the wrong target, it's probably because it's the only possible target the previous editor had heard of. Topics to be listed on a disambiguation page created in place of a redirect may or may not be limited to human names. Google is your friend.
