Mounteer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This seems to be a thorough piece of research listing holders of an extremely rare surname, none of whom are themselves notable. It doesn't seem to have any claim as a wikipedia article, and is an orphan. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 21:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment- Canadian Brigadeer General Donald Edwin Mounteer, if sourced, meets WikiProject Military history/Notability guide #3: 'Held a rank considered to be a flag, general or air officer, or their historical equivalents; or' ; none of the others seem notable from the information in the article.

 * Weak keep -- Notable Canadian article but needs more improvement. --Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 01:29, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. There was a Brigadier General Donald Mounteer, but all I could find for him is a single barebones death notice, hardly enough to build an article around. The military history guideline says that "an individual will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify" if he "held a rank considered to be a flag, general or air officer", but that doesn't seem to be the case here. As Dru has noted, none of the others are notable.Clarityfiend (talk) 02:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep. I am leaning toward Delete, but recommend that the article be kept for now.  If a few Mounteers are notable enough to have articles written about them, this can be used as a quasi-disambiguation page, for lack of a better term to describe it.  If the general was notable, then someone could convert this into an article on him. DCI  talk 03:28, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is hardly anything here but genealogical data, and apparently no individual with this surname is the subject of a Wikipedia article yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:43, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable list of trivia. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:56, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the sourced infobox information about the name itself, the article now lists several quasi-notable people, including a member of a band that has its own article (Jules Mounteer of Captain Tractor). Dcoetzee 06:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
