Removing "People"?
It seems to me that this long list of people whose first name is "Chuck" should be removed from this disambig. Such "named" folks can be found easily enough with a search, and an article on "Chuck" should contain people or things that are referred to as chuck and chuck alone, since
Wikipedia is not a directory and
disambiguation pages are not search indices. Any thoughts? I'll give it a week, and if nobody objects, trim the page.

Does anyone think that Chuck Norris should be mentioned on this page? I mean, isn't he sometimes referred to as just "Chuck"? I just wanted to make sure before I just put it on there. --

That conflicts with
WP:MOSDAB guidelines. Disambiguation pages typically should not contain lists of people by first name unless the person is commonly known by the first name only. They also should not contain non-disambiguation content about the name, such the {{Infobox given name}} template.

PS, if you want to propose removing the list of names and the infobox, with a simple reference to
Charles, that may help. Without any sources or substantial content about the name, such lists of people that share a first name are unencyclopedic.
