List of nicknames of European royalty and nobility: Q

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

prod contested because editor believed to do so "would create a gap in list of nicknames of European royalty and nobility" Salaskan, what a sorry excuse for a reason. {and I am not sorry for saying that!}. If the list is empty because no one had a nickname for for that letter we should keep an empty article simply so there is no gap? A list of one is not a list and unless someone can find another person to go on this list, I say delete as a not needed article as I did in my prod. Otherwise, it sets a precedence for every other article that says "My list should stay, even though it only has one item in it." Postcard Cathy 10:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * How about Merge with List of nicknames of European royalty and nobility: P in some way? Mr pand 11:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree, merge with P or R if he wants to keep it for completeness. Wl219 11:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as not an appropriate subject for a list. What relevance does this have? JulesH 11:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Relevance and notability as a topic is shown through sources listed in the main list Lists of nicknames of European royalty and nobility, this just breaks it down by letter. (see WP:OSTRICH, WP:BORING) Wl219 12:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * There's (understandably) no list for X at the moment, so the series is incomplete anyway. Rename List of nicknames of European Royalty and Nobility: P as List of nicknames of European Royalty and Nobility: P-Q, merge this into it, and redirect. (By the way, shouldn't all these articles be moved to titles with lowercase royalty and nobility?) Deor 14:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * COMMENT I would agree to merging it with P or R and then changing the title accordingly.  This way the one person who is listed there can continue to be on the list.  Cathy
 * Comment this list has content, and it would be unfortunate if we had to delete it simply because the list is too short. I'd agree with merging it with other letters though, so we can create A-C, D-F, G-I, J-L, M-O, P-R, S-U, V-Z, or something. The lists can always be separated from each other when they grow too large.  Sala Skan  18:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment just to clarify, the reason for my deprodding was that I felt that this content shouldn't get lost just because the list was too short. That would be a pity. Obviously, this isn't really an important "article", so we can still merge the content.  Sala Skan  18:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That is not what you said on the edit summary. I quoted you verbatim.  AND   a list isn't a list if there is only one thing on the list.  A short list is two, three, four things, ....   One thing isn't a list. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.131.86.244 (talk • contribs).
 * That is what I said in my edit summary. Deleting this page will create a gap in the list, so instead, you'd better either take it to AfD where a consensus can be reached (I think we have a pretty good consensus right now), or merge it.  Sala Skan  22:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The fifth Earl of Wekkelsford will always be "pookiebuns" to me. ~ Infrangible 03:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant comment. Someone really needs to deal with the complete lack of proper alphabetization in these lists. They're essentially unusable as they stand. Deor 21:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge all of these list sections into appropriately sized groups of letters. Atropos 21:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure that a need for a list of nicknames for royalty is demonstrated. Presumably they are included in the individual articles. Are the nicknames themselves notable? Did they contribute to the changing of history to such an extent that there is a need for lists of this kind? I do not think notability has been demonstrated to warrant these lists.  --Malcolmxl5 02:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge everything linked to from Lists of nicknames of European royalty and nobility into the one place. These lists are not needed separately.  Giggy  UCP 04:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
