Uffermann

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable surname. There are no articles on English Wikipedia for a person with this surname (or variant thereof), and only one article on German Wikipedia for a person with a variant of this surname (de:Laura Ufermann). toweli (talk) 12:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep. There are several potentially notable people with this surname, such as Brian Ufferman, a Ph.D. research engineer who works on laser cladding (see LinkedIn biography), the German badminton player with the article in German Wikipedia, and Robert C. Ufferman, a nephrologist active in the 1970s at University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York with several articles in Google Scholar, as well as the Ufferman Site and the person it was named after.

 * Also consider the spelling variation Auffermann. See de:Auffermann. Here's a search for the surname on Wikipedia. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely fails WP:NNAME, no sources found to indicate that it's not a WP:NOTDICT fail as well. It also goes into overt detail of family history and looks somewhat like original research. Not saying it is but it's unsourced and doesn't look great. And the concept of "notability" above seems rather arbitrarily applied. I don't have enough expertise to judge the notability of Brian and Robert C. (though they personally don't look very notable at a glance to me), but "the person that the Ufferman Site was named after"? Who would that be, and why would one assume they would be notable? I can't find their name. Even if they are notable, it doesn't much matter when they have no article. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 22:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment. I don't see why Auffermann would belong in that page or even in this discussion. Geschichte (talk) 09:57, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not sure what the potentially notable people have to do with anything - if we end up with articles on them and need to make a dab page, we can do that once we have those articles. We don't presently have sourcing to show a WP:GNG pass for the name itself, and none has been brought forward in this discussion, either. -- asilvering (talk) 23:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
