(human name pages) sounds odd. What about calling them what they are:
"surname disambiguations".

I agree---I use these all the time. In some
academic disciplines it's
common to refer to well-known or even moderately well-known people by
surname only. If I don't happen to be familiar with the person myself,
I find out who they are by looking up the surname on Wikipedia, and
scanning down the list for someone of the right occupation and right
era.
Glad to hear it.
I'm hoping to start some work on [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (human name
pages)]]: see on the Talk page of [[WP:MOSDAB]] for some discussion
starting.
