[edit] Thachenkary
Pretty sure this fails WP:N. If Wikipedia had an encyclopedic entry on everyone's surname in the entire world... well, we all know what that would look like. Delete Rockstar915 19:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
...True, but a name that is tied to a substantial amount of the history of Christianity and of Catholicism in India. It is also a unique name, meaning only members of the family carry it. BTW, is the objection to the entire article or just parts of it? Thanks, Thachenkary. (I am new to this process, so my apologies in advance.)
- Note: This article is referenced so it's assertion of notability might be legitimate, but it sounds like it could be a vanity article. Verkhovensky 17:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Weak Delete What are the rules on surnames in general having a page? I don't think they get to. I wouldn't have a problem with this article if it explained only history. But then it goes on to say every generation and all the people, non of which are notable in any way at all.--Dacium 01:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. This is not a notable surname or a disambig page (as is the case with most pages on surnames). utcursch | talk 10:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete names and their definition belong in a dictionary. Only if the name needs a disambig does Wikipedia need an article. Nuttah68 20:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete-Souds like a vanity article. If it is about Tomin J thachenkary I.P.S I will not oppose because he is the most controversial police officer in Kerala. But this article is based on just a surname. Nileena joseph (Talk|Contribs) 16:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
