Additions and removals[edit]

I have been getting some most unexpected behaviour from the history system but from the revision of 18:48, 2003 Aug 27, I have recovered several people and US places that had dropped off. I see no reason why they should not be here - they have more right than the red-linked UK place names.

Anyone tempted to reinstate:

If the Penkyamp system, instead of Pinyin, were the standard romanization system for the Chinese language, then Lee should be the most common family name on earth.

(as I was) should read Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Penkyamp. RHaworth 01:37, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

I have now discovered Lee (English name) but decided to keep my mods because:

I for one would not expect to find US towns and counties from a line that read: 'A common English-language family name. See Lee (English name).'
it avoids multiple levels of disambiguation.

Lee Stianos has been deleted - assume vandalism by User:172.155.249.107.

(Trouble is with it being about the most common name on earth you are bound to get vandals on this page.
All I wanted to do was put in a quick link to River Lee and I've been at it for three hours - that's Wiki for you.) RHaworth 02:28, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

Split/merge[edit]

The people and places sections need to be split off into their own articles and Lee (English name) should merge with the people section in this article under Lee (name). ∞Σɛ_Þ² ^(τ|c) 06:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I came here, the people section has already been dealt with. I strongly disagree with the moving of place names, except for all "Lee Counties", which I removed/swapped for a working link to Lee County. I therefore removed the split notice as well.

Cleanup[edit]

This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup. I removed the following entries:

Lee, one of the original common Hmong surnames (no mention of this surname on the Hmong pages)
Lee (middle name) (speedied)
from the see also section:
- Leesburg, Leesville, Leeton (per MOS:DAB, no risk of confusion)
- "Annabel Lee", a poem by Edgar Allan Poe (also no risk of confusion).
