[edit] Dronsfield

This was tagged for speedy deletion as a bio that doesn't assert notability (WP:CSD#A7). I don't agree with that, so I'm listing it here at AfD.

  • Speedy delete clearly as "an article about real persons that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject". --Perfecto 03:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - there's some stuff about the crusades, and knights, and squires, and sheriffs, sounds exciting. Men in tights. Ruby 04:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Sorry, what kind of vote is that? Please clarify it. -- Perfecto 04:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. For one, it's an article about a surname, not a particular person. Unless they have some notability other than owning land and dressing fancy, they're not on the same level of other notable families, like maybe the Kennedy family. Peyna 04:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The family owned some land, and a few were associated with royalty, but I don't see anything notable that was done by a member of the family. I do not see the encyclopedic value of this article; does not assert importance. — TheKMantalk 05:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, if the family has notable members, articles should be made about them. -- Kjkolb 05:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment its been moved to the Genealogy wikicities [1] -- Astrokey44|talk 09:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • delete, not a sufficiently notable family, and per the above is on wikicities. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 10:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as it has been copied to a more appropriate wiki, see above. --Zsinj 03:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
