[edit] Italian Surnames

It's an unwikified (and hardly worth wikifying) string of Italian names and surnames, with no source and no information that cannot be found in other articles. Probably an example of what Wikipedia is not. Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete because: a) derivation information is covered much more thoroughly in Family name; b) I think Wiktionary actually covers things like this (maybe Transwiki?); c) for corn's sake, they left off Alito and Scalia! For shame, for shame. BD2412 T 15:27, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, I have a hard time believing a list of surnames in any country is encyclopedic. — JIP | Talk 18:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unmaintainable unencyclopedic listcruft. Pavel Vozenilek 19:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm half Italian, and this article still isn't any good to even me. Eduard Gherkin 02:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I'm Italian. I was planning to add what regions the names are from. I was planning to add a much more extensive list of names. And I was intending to add famous people for every name possible. Kindof like an extensive list of Italian orgiginated surnames, who they belong to... etc. I do not have so much time on my hands just recently as i planned to so until I do... which will unfortunately never happen. I agree that this list is going nowhere. --Alexbonaro 08:47, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe you could collect the information you need elsewhere, and then propose it for reference. Even then I'm not sure if such an annotated list would be considered encyclopedic by other editors. Check the Wiktionary. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 16:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
