[edit] Avola

Avola (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete expired prod about a Sicilian noble family that has been around for a while but unsourced for over a year as well; many ghits for Avola but there is a town in Sicily of that name either from which this family took its name or to which it was bestowed. Either way, some think that any noble family is notable, so here it is for the community to decide. Carlossuarez46 18:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Redoing this as a redirect to Avola (SR), the town would be OK too. Carlossuarez46 18:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect as suggested. I can't find any verification. This is one of a number of obscure articles created in 2004 by 80.58.53.42 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) and 80.58.53.44 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log), many of which remain unverified.

• Redirect as suggested - could not find anything about the family, found lots about the town. Shruti14 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete altogether. I see no evidence that this is a traditional name of a family as distinct from a town. Most of the ghits seem to be for a wine. DGG (talk) 19:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect or possibly move Avola (SR) to Avola per above. Addhoc 09:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• {{prod}} poster voting Delete and Redirect Delete content from current version of Avola and replace it with content from Avola (SR) and redirect Avola (SR) to Avola. As stated by DGG above there is indication that Avola is a traditional name of a family as distinct from a town, which leaves nothing to merge. Jeepday (talk) 14:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
