[edit] Sumit

Sumit (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Does not give any useful information. Seems like someone created this out of vanity. Truetyper 02:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Nominator's fourth edit.

• Weak delete. I don't think you could make a bigger article here. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 02:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Wikify Transwiki - Google hits verify that it is a given first name in Africa; so this is a definition that belongs in Wikidictionary. For precedent, see listing for Dan. B.Wind 04:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • That's called Transwikification. Wikification is adjustment for Manual of Style concerns. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 04:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
    • I sit corrected. That's what I get for editing with a divided mind. Thanks. B.Wind 04:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Can it be cleaned up to look like Amit? Gzkn 12:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe, if there were famous, notable, important people with the surname of Sumit, it would probably work. Nashville Monkey 12:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all Indian name vanity (there's a lot of it around). Recreate in a useful state later if that is possible. Punkmorten 14:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete I am not automatically opposed to name articles, but this one is too insignificant. Perhaps move it to Wiktionary? TSO1D 15:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:COI. Terence Ong 15:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for the same reason given in the nomination. ArmAndLeg 21:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It used to be consensus that articles about given names were vanity articles and to be deleted as such. In fact, my deletion log shows:

16:12, 4 September 2005 SWAdair (Talk | contribs) deleted "Stacey" (content was: '{{db|No conceivable hope of becoming an article.}}A female name, sometimes used as a male name. sometimes also used as a surname. never in recorded ...')

Now not only do we have all sorts of given-name articles, but look at the current state of Stacey, which was deleted because it had "No conceivable hope of becoming an article" -- basically the reason proposed for deletion of this article. Using Google to search Wikipedia only, I found Sumit Sarkar and plenty of Wikipedia articles that mention other notable people named Sumit, although they don't have articles written about them yet. sumit site:en.wikipedia.org This article is as valid as Stacey, Adam (name), Brian and a host of other given-name articles. Give it time and it will grow. SWAdair 03:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per SWAdair. — coelacan talk — 05:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as NN. And we're not a baby-name directory. WMMartin 16:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
