Butt (surname)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

After multiple citation templates and requests were ignored by the primary authors for a year, I removed all questionable material, leaving a list of people who have variations on the name, and little more. A two month old merge proposal went ignored by the primary authors, whose only interest is in preventing any chagnes to the page, but not improvements. Further, the split between European Butts and between Indian Butts was left unclear, and no effort was made to separate the Butts of one group from the Butts of a totally different group. Finally, by the primary authors' own writings, Butt as an Indian tribe and such was really the Bhat tribe, but they wre unwilling to work on that page for whatever reasons.

 * Delete per nom. Content duplicated at Butt. Tevildo (talk) 17:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a redundant article. All seriousness aside, those people must hate to have that surname... Tavix (talk) 18:06, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Tevildo. --Unscented (talk) 18:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not WP:DR. This is a legit surname/dab page like the others at Category:Surnames.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 21:21, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep.96.53.149.117 (talk) 00:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC) This is DEFINITELY not dispute resolution.  If there's a problem change the article.  Don't delete it.
 * Note. To 'augment' the article, the above IP removed a great deal of material from the disambig page at Butt, and pasted it to the AfD'd article. ThuranX (talk) 01:03, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. This is in no way a WP:DR situation. There is no dispute, and there is a significant lack of information in the article which isn't better covered at Bhat and Butt, and no effort to improve long standing tags at this article has been made ,while the other two more than adequately cover the materials.

 * Keep — per Brewcrewer. I see nothing different about this article than the thousands of other disambig pages that we use. Expansion and cleanup is what we need, and it doesn't matter if it isn't finished today.  NuclearWarfare  contact me My work  01:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Uh, this is not a disambig page. It's an article with unsupported, duplicated content better contextualized in other places. ThuranX (talk) 01:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep the English ones but delete the others. This is the English wikipedia. Scaldi (talk) 22:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the English language Wikipedia. There's no rules that prohibit links or articles on non-English subjects. - Mgm|(talk) 16:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I went to post this comment on Scaldi's talk page and found he's been blocked for sockpuppetry. We might like to discount his comment. - Mgm|(talk) 17:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge any information to Butt that isn't already there. This is a duplicate article. Edward321 (talk) 00:43, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, this is just a directory anyhow. JBsupreme (talk) 02:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge if needed. There was clearly no reason to bring this to AfD. The nominator should have just merged and redirected, if he did not like a separate article. The redirect Butt (surname) will always be needed. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 04:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The nominator tried that months ago, to no avail. So the nominator brought it here. Imagine that. ThuranX (talk) 04:09, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Whatever... It was a content issue, and should not have been sent to AfD. After this discussion I will however be delighted to help him in kicking this surname into butt. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 04:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * this was never a content issue. It started as a fork of Bhat, and grew into an unsourced mess of information duplicated from other articles. That's been brought up here already. Sorry you can't understand that. I tried working with the primary author, tried fixing it, and nothing's worked, so I brought it here, because the info's already in other places.
