Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people who have changed, adopted or adjusted their surnames, either personally or professionally or both, based on their mother's maiden name
assuming that sources can be found and cited indicating that some reliable source has discussed or commented upon the set of people who change their names to a maternal surname (to confirm that this is a |notable topic). And definitely change the appalling title to something like "List of people who adopted matronymic surnames." The title of a list article need not fully explain the inclusion criteria for the list -- that can be done in the article text. This is one of those topics that would never fit into a paper encyclopedia, but can be included in Wikipedia -- assuming someone else has discussed the phenomenon on which the list is based
