[edit] Aarella

Not a very notable surname; article appears to be a hoax due to lack of sources. Also, the first hit on google is this article. While google returns 387 hits, most of them are as surnames of some people. Several Indian surnames would easily cross 5000 hits but they are not notable as such Gurubrahma 09:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. Too bad we can't speedy groups. Movementarian 11:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - It has some interesting information (six fingers is cool), but it seems more likely to be a hoax than anything else. --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 12:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I think it atleast has some info and context and lot better than other such articles like Andem --Vyzasatya 20:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• keep- Its not a hoax definately, cos its me who wrote it, yes it is not a common surname, but its got its history and if u go by surname Aarella's will be the first surname in whole of india.

• Delete, Wikipedia is not a genealogy site, there is no other reason to retain this article. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete The author claims it is true. There is no other evidence that it is anything other than made up. With evidence he/she can rewrite.Obina 10:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Actually, the Norwegian Aschehoug paper encyclopedia I have at home does have a few articles on some surnames with a "glorious" past. Nonetheless, this article appears to fail the very important verifiability condition. Sjakkalle (Check!) 16:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Most lastnames have interesting stories behind them. That's not encyclopedia material. If we don't have an article for something like Stalin (lastname) and Shakespeare (lastname) , I see no reason to have this one. Flyboy Will 21:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Cant understand the reason for deletion, as for proof i hve only got the oral proof from my elders, but i will be very disappointed if deleted.
