Lists of names derived from other names

 * (View AfD) (View log)

WP:WINAD. These article are merely lists of names that were derived from other names (i.e. a word list) with no prose or explanatory text other than a bit of etymology (dictionary material) and no encyclopedic purpose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so they have been transwikied to Wiktionary and may now be deleted. Deletion after transwiki is standard procedure. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 05:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete after transwiki of course (as with all those that have come before) per WP:NOT a dictionary or an indiscriminate collection of information etc. WjBscribe 09:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WINAD and completed transwiki. Just to clarify (and also for future reference), the "Transwiki:" prefix will be removed from the article titles eventually, correct (or at least redirects established without a prefix)? -- Black Falcon 19:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not very informative. Articles on first names get usually deleted from WP so I do not expect the red links to disappear soon. 20:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
