Francis William

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

Delete. This is not a given name - Francis is the given name, William is one of the middle names. On WP, we do not keep pages to list everyone with a certain combination of given name and middle name. Please see Frank William's AfD. Boleyn2 (talk) 08:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:20, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Those who contribute here may wish to comment on the AfDs of theses similar pages: André Henri, Paulo Jorge, Marie Constant and Frank William. Boleyn2 (talk) 18:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Del. There are pairs of names like "John Mark" (the name of the reputed author of the Gospel of Mark), that seem to occur together far more than statistics of the individual names would predict. But apparently random pairs of just of the most popular American male names (which cover 90% of that population) would run over a million articles, and the corresponding ones for American females over 4 million. By the end of WP's 16th year, that may be no big deal, but for now it would be a major change in the nature of the 'pedia's infrastructure, to little effect. --Jerzy•t 07:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
