Not about the sheriff of Dallas County

@SecretName101: I think the title of this article is misleading. The article is not about the elected position of Dallas County Sheriff, instead it is mostly a list of people who have been elected to that position, without explaining the functions of the position itself. As such, I think the article's name should either be changed to List of sheriffs of Dallas County, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (lists), or be merged with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office. However, doing the latter may cause an undue weight problem in any merged article. A part of the reason for having a list article is to enable readers to find a Wikipedia article about a particular person who is on the list. However, there appear to only be two articles at the moment. This list is mostly a list of red links; are you intending to write all these biographies? If you are not, why do you expect any will any ever be written? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 13:29, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
