Fails WP:NNAME and has no WP:SIGCOV; therefore fails WP:GNG as well. This name is extremely rare as a surname, and almost all uses of it are as a middle name patronymic. I am not opposed to redirecting. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 06:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Expand and improve as needed. Ivan is one of the most widely used names in Slavic languages, just as John is in English. There would be literally hundreds or thousands of Ukrainian men with this patronymic. It is a relevant and useful article and there is no reason to delete it.

Comment Forebears.io says there are 28 people with this surname. 28. I know Forebears isn't generally considered a reliable source, but the data is usually somewhat accurate. I believe this name may have been misinterpreted as a surname by the article creator. Middle name patronymics have never been found notable, for reasons such as the ones stated in the AfD discussion linked in TompaDompa's comment. I know rules don't have much of an effect on you, but try researching beforehand. In fact I'm pinging User:BD2412 and User:PamD on this.

Merge to Ivanović. To the extent that these names are variations of each other, similarly constructed, everything about both can be said at one title. BD2412 T 00:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ivanović per BD2412. Slight variations in spelling or pronunciation do not make the different forms of the patronymic separate topics. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
