Deppeler
Vanity page, non-notable. User that created it is named Deppeler. Chairboy 19:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * do not delete: Well, I just created the page and obviously disagree. It's not vanity page since it's not about myself. The name is spread among a couple of continents and can be tracked to a small village in Tegerfelden. I don't think it should be held against the page that it's a Deppeler who created it.
 * Delete Non-notable. Totally willing to change my vote if notability can be established. 67.116.212.168 20:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC) oops, logged out by accident. Fernando Rizo 20:28, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * do not delete: Notability is indeed arguable, as it is with many pages ... please do consider that the surname is unique, has tracable origins, and has been inquired for its roots by Deppelers in South America, Australia and the United States many times in the past couple of decades. deppeler 22:43, 23 July 2005 (MEST).

 * Every surname is unique. I'm sure mine could be traced to Italy, Spain, Cuba, Greece and the United States, but there's no article for it on Wikipedia, nor should there be. The family name is not notable. Contrast with Kennedy. Fernando Rizo 20:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You are completely right. However, this surname can be traced to a tiny village in Switzerland. Try that with Kennedy or most others. deppeler 22:59, 23 July 2005 (MEST).


 * Userfy if the author wishes, otherwise, delete, --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 20:50, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Userfy? - ok, I *am* a newbie. How do you userfy this article? (Sorry if this is a FAQ) - "Encyclopedias can be general, containing articles on topics in many different fields".deppeler 22:54, 23 July 2005 (MEST)
 * "Userfy" means to move the article from Deppeler to User:Deppeler, your user page. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 21:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I'll do the move now. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 22:00, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for advising. I believe the content in my user page is actually content that belongs to my home page ...". But that's different from the content I wanted to add here. "Wikipedia's goal is to create a free, reliable encyclopedia—indeed, the largest encyclopedia in history, in terms of both breadth and depth." I am more interested to add content to the Deppeler page as it has been entered say, ... to the Smith (surname) site. deppeler 00:13, 24 July 2005 (MEST).
