Vlasopulos family

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG A family name, with no reliable sources given. I could not find any third party sources. Thoughts? Tinton5 (talk) 03:09, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The article looks like an almost direct Google translation from the corresponding Greek Wikipedia article. Note that the article name is not ideal as a search term - the name can also be (and is) transcribed as Vlasopoulos, Vlassopulos and so on. Not that I've (yet) turned up anything useful by doing this. PWilkinson (talk) 01:00, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Users,

there are free pictures and sources of Vlasopulos family in greek sites and specially in personal site of this family. The user talk:Dr.K. makes huge efforts to destroy or dissapear the Vlasopulos family article and Stylianos Vlasopoulos article and I do not know the reason. I would like you explain how the same article in greek is acceptable from greek wikipedia and in english wikipedia it is not. I wait for your comments soon.

Yours sincerely

 * Dear Michaelglem. None of your sources satisfy our notability requirements. What they do at the Greek Wikipedia is their business. What we do here is ours. Also do not make personal comments about me. This is very bad form and it is a personal attack. See our WP:NPA policy about personal attacks. You are also misrepresenting the facts when you say that I make huge efforts to delete the articles. You are making huge efforts to delete the notices on the articles that connect to this AfD page. You are making the huge effort to keep this uncited stuff on Wikipedia and you are edit-warring, personally attacking and cluelessly removing AfD notices despite multiple warnings. Not me. You are also blanking your talkpage so that others will not see the warnings you get. I am not the one with the agenda. I would suggest you get a clue. And soon.

 * Delete This article is a Google translation of the corresponding Greek Wikipedia article, and if it is to be kept it will need substantial rewriting to put it into something more like English. However, there is little point in taking the trouble to do that, as there is no evidence whatsoever of satisfying English Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In a nutshell, the content of article is "Vlasopulos is a Greek surname. Some people with this surname have been politicians, writers and artists. Someone has collected together the names and dates of some members of a family with this name. Some members of that family have attempted to aggrandise their family by trying to get an official title given to their family, but failed in their attempt. Some members of the family were worried that the name was approaching extinction, so they have got female members of the family, so as to keep the name to stop it dying out." The only "references" given are links to the Greek Wikipedia article and mirrors of that Wikipedia article on other sites. Not remotely notable. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:00, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is an automatic translation. Its main source is family memory. It is also more than borderline in regard to WP:BLP, naming several people born in the last half of the 20th century. Note that the author of the article seems to be one of them (born 1987). There are too many red lines crossed here. Place Clichy (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. The author is related to the subject of this article and also featured himself in the other Vlassopoulos article, therefore has a WP:COI. Dr.K. λogosπraxis  21:44, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
