 * Delete It doesn't really explain anything about the name. Hmrox (talk) 17:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. A surname stub, which is accepted as notable. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP is not a genealogy project and there's no evidence this is a notable name. TravellingCari  02:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Although I don't like to argue with my best-wiki-friend, there is something very similar to a genealogy project at WP and its called WikiProject Anthroponymy. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think the existence of a project, albeit one with a fancy name, trumps precedent (some examples from my watchlist, by noo means exhaustive, Articles for deletion/Oltian, Articles for deletion/Ablat, Articles for deletion/Baali (surname) and Articles for deletion/Fortuna surname.) There may have been some that were kept, but these were on my watch. Feel free to disagree. I told DDG on another AfD, I'm wrong at times. Always willing to see other sides of the coin. What are your thoughts on it, Brew? TravellingCari  03:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well "precedent" is kinda like a "other-stuff-exists" argument which an afd veteran like yourself knows doesn't fly. To the same extent that there are precedents for deletion there are precedents of non-deletion with thousands of Category:Surnames in existence.
 * I see surnames as geographic locations (which are considered inherently notable). If there are lots of people going around with the last name its conspicuous proliferation is itself a basis for notability. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree but disagree. Have they all survived AfD? I see there existence as otherstuff as well. Speaking just for myself and not other nominators, I don't actively seek out names to delete but if I find them somewhere, I will nominate if there's no evidence they're notable. I think ones that dab petween those of the same name, i.e. Photios, serve a purpose but ones that just go on about the name aren't inherently notable. Some names may be, i.e. Bin Laden family, Astor family, Rockefeller family, etc.may be notable for the people -- but I don't think names are inherently notable. Then again, I disagree with the schools status quo too. TBC tomorrow, bedtime for me. TravellingCari  03:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
