[edit] Huo (surname)

Huo (surname) (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Article has little context on the notability of the surname itself, and mostly consists of links to others of encyclopedic merit who have the surname without providing any explanation of what their surname had to do with it. BlueSquadronRaven 23:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Wikipedia has plenty of articles about names, and the article can certainly be improved by adding sources and expansion, but I see nothing prompting deletion. --TeaDrinker 23:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep, but this should probably become a disambiguation page for people with that name (or Fok, apparently, which just proves that I'll never understand the way the Chinese languages/dialects work), rather than being an article on the surname itself.

• Keep Good example of a start of an article on a surname. Fg2 00:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• Disambiguation page; agree with BigHaz, this should be altered into a disambiguation page, would be much more useful tool there! 07:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SkierRMH (talk • contribs).

• Keep I agree with TeaDrinker. scope_creep 17:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — Surnames are quite important, especially in Asian cultures. There are many other articles of this type around Wikipedia, and they serve to help describe the origins of the name, among other things. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 00:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - see this article [1] for what this could develop into given some time. novacatz 01:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
