Klitschko brothers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Each brother has his own article. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment--assuming that each brother is notable, and that they're commonly referred to by this title, this may be keeping or revising to serve as a disambig. Meelar (talk) 22:47, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. If they are referred to collectively with this name, which appears to be the case, deleting this page would make it more difficult for readers to find the articles on the individuals. As the article points out, they also do some things together, ex. share a website, do charity work, hold all the titles. The article should focus on their activities together and briefly summarize the articles on them as individuals, and it seems like it's doing a good job of that. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:11, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Roscelese; if some sources actually refer to the pair of them, and if there are some things they are involved in jointly, it can be helpful to have an article for the pair. I disagree with the reasoning behind the nomination - shall we delete Canada because we already have detailed articles on every province of Canada? bobrayner (talk) 17:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Reliable sources establish notability for the topic. The article's title is also appropriate, because, per Wikipedia guidelines for common names (WP:COMMONNAME), "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article." Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:08, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, each brother already has his own article; however, they are typically discussed in relation to each other due to their unique and unprecedented dominance in this history of heavyweight boxing, i.e. never before has there been a seven year span in which two brothers cleaned out the heavyweight division and captured all of the major championships between them and yes, that is how outside sources see it.  The HBO announcers even declared as much after Vitali's recent victory.  --173.241.225.163 (talk) 17:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep., I agree with the above statements, think for example, the wright brothers, everyone knows them as together, this is no different.– Phoenix B 1of3  (talk) 17:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
