[edit] Lists of surnames

Note that this is not a renomination. The previous set of surname lists were successfully deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of surnames; these are more that were just transwikied to Wiktionary.

WP:WINAD. These articles are merely lists of names belonging to a particular language or culture (i.e. a word list) with no prose or explanatory text or encyclopedic purpose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so they have been transwikied to Wiktionary and may now be deleted. There is strong precedent for this kind of deletion; recently, all lists of given names have been moved to Wiktionary and deleted.

Deletion after transwiki is standard procedure. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 09:17, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete all per justified transwiki. All content is currently at Category:Surname appendices. -- Black Falcon 22:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all per nom. Bigtop 02:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
