Grimshaw family

No evidence given of Family Notability - Has been tagged as suspect for four years. Checked the one link to the Grimshaw family website and cannot find anything notable there. No links to independent good sources Jpacobb (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * An article about the surname could probably be suitable for Wikipedia, and the lists of people on the Grimshaw disambiguation page should be moved to it. Information about specific families (the "major line" started in Yorkshire and the family crest) can be removed unless there is evidence of notability.

 * Delete per WP:PEOPLE. Content is not based on a reliable source. Could possibly be recreated as List of Grimshaws per WP:LISTPEOPLE (and some of the content reincluded if properly sourced) if the surname in general is notable. -- Trevj (talk) 13:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
