[edit] Kelsey (name)

Delete as Wikipedia isn't a genealogical society. Gay Cdn 19:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I'm going to take the first sentence and put it on the disambig page. Yanksox 20:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per the reasons I gave in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Louis (name). Not as strong here since there isn't as much information and Kelsey is a significantly less common name. But the nomination reasons given for both definitely do not apply--as far as I can see, onomastic pages do not violate WP:NOT for genealogical reasons. HumbleGod 20:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Check out the Kelsey disambig page, I think it should work. Yanksox 20:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • In that case, Vote change: Weak Delete since it's not a particularly common name. But for now I stand by my belief that onomastic articles do not violate WP:NOT in and of themselves. HumbleGod 20:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree, and out of curiousity I did a bunch of random names, and most of them list the name and etemology on the disamig page. Yanksox 20:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Those articles should be fixed to link to Wiktionary for those. As per Wikipedia:Disambiguation, disambiguation articles are not dictionary articles. Uncle G 00:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
    • They do. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The etymology, translations, alternative spellings, homonyms, meanings of a word, be it a proper noun or otherwise, is dictionary territory. Uncle G 00:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As long as the name in question is not obscure, onomastic articles are useful and notable enough to remain on Wikipedia. JChap (Talk) 21:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep needs rewriting. Danny Lilithborne 01:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite. Articles on given names have no essential connection to genealogy. Fg2 07:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• The article contains etymology and alternative spellings of a word, in this case a proper noun. It is a dictionary article, plain and simple, mis-placed in the wrong project. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. As per Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames, this content belongs at wikt:Kelsey, cross-linked from Kelsey to employ Wikipedia and Wiktionary in tandem, just as we have done, and continue to do, with other name disambiguation articles. Delete. Uncle G 00:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - this is a dictionary entry, suited to Wiktionary but not here. BlueValour 01:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Uncle G, dic def Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 04:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• What Uncle G said. I'm not sure exactly what he's saying -- he said Delete, but also Wikify to Wiktionary, but also Keep as a crosslink to Wiktionary... it all sounds kind of consfusing but doing all three of these makes sense, if that's an option. Herostratus 19:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
