Colegrove (surname)
Surnames don't seem to be notable for articles. delete --Revolución (talk) 23:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting background of the surname. Youngamerican 17:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - my surname is tracable back over 12 centuries, but since WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of Genealogical entries, neither it nor Colegrove deserve articles. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 17:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Provides useful background. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 09:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Background to what? -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 09:34, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The name itself. Although, on further thought, I could see the name itself merged into something and made into a particularly informative disambiguation page. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 09:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * We could have articles on a million last names, what purpose would it serve? As far as I know, personal names and last names should be in Wiktionary, not Wikipedia. --Revolución (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Into a souped-up disambiguation page. We have plenty of those centering around family names, and said pages are quite useful. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 04:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've created a disambiguation page at Colegrove. --Revolución (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
