Sense 2: "Relating to someone with the surname Ballard" (but not J. G. Ballard, who is sense 1). This definition actually seems rather useless. Anyway, cites would be good. Of course, if any one Ballard has been called "Ballardian" 3 or more times, it should be a specific sense instead of this generic one. So it's a bit of an odd case.

- Yes, not useful, and this could be added to all [last name]+-ian/-esque etc. entries, perhaps it should be explicitly disallowed. – Jberkel 11:29, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- RFV-failed. After a fairly extensive search I found one citation, left at Citations:Ballardian, but nothing else that refers to someone other than J. G. Ballard. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 13:53, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
