Deb (middle name)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While "surname" and "given name" are things we allow list articles like this to be created for, in reality what we normally want those to be, if at all possible, is actual articles about the names rather than just lists of people who happen to have them. But we don't have any established practice of also maintaining "middle name" articles — very nearly any "middle name" that anybody on earth could possibly be given is just a "given name" or a "surname" shifted to the middle position, rather than belonging to any class of names that's designated exclusively for "middle name" use. The dead giveaway is that there's no for this to be filed in — and having scanned both  and, I can't find any evidence of any other page that's dabbed as "(middle name)" either. And at any rate, this "middle name" list is a list of one person — so it wouldn't be a useful list to maintain even if "middle name" articles were a thing Wikipedia did. Delete.

 * Delete: I have never seen a middle name before. Also middle names are just like first names hence in most cases (given name) should include middle name as well. Ueutyi (talk) 02:54, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
