[edit] Pushpraj

Does not seem notable/important enough to have a wikipedia article. Delete. Peasantwarrior (talk) 11:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak, nay feeble, keep At the risk of arguing other stuff exists against arguments to avoid, there are a number of personal name articles (Sarah (name) or Park (Korean name)). Although, at the very least, this is probably a WP:COI article based on the history. Yngvarr 11:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep as above Delete. We have lots of articles for common Western first names, as well as some uncommon ones. If this is a common South Asian first name, then why not? Lankiveil (talk) 12:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC). Changed opinion based upon below. Lankiveil (talk) 13:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC).
I highly doubt it is a common South Asian first name. Google search only returns 453 (first number it gives is 5,210) unique results [1]while Sarah returns 149,000,000 a lot more (first number Google gives is 171,000,000, but the final result is probably much less) results.Peasantwarrior (talk) 13:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, to play the devil's advocate, a large number of potential incidences of the name could be in Devanagari rather than Latin letters. But I agree, it looks like it may not be as common as claimed. Lankiveil (talk) 13:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Strong delete I'm Indian and this is not a common name (non-notable). In fact I personally know of no one with this name.Antorjal (talk) 19:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not sure that the common European/American/Judao-Christian name "Sarah" should be compared to an Indian name via a websearch alone. The web may produce a pro western bias on information you turn up. That said, Weak keep--Pgagnon999 (talk) 02:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The commonness of the name should have no bearing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, per WP:WINAD, the name meaning may be transwikied to Wiktionary, the rest seems WP:SPAM. --Avinesh Jose (talk) 06:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia includes the encyclopedia of names. However, evey name needs sourced info on meaning, origin, first use, frequency of use, etc, to make it more than a dictionary entry --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Request Leave, As different people may have different opinion so I assume that I am not challenging any particular opinion. I ask for an apology if so. This name is a good nominee to be included in wikipedia. If it seems that this is not so common name then the common word can be deleted from so that it is not claimed as it says. If my opinion can be considered then I would like to bring this in your kind notice that I have seen lots op people with this name including some of the famous people. Infact there are 2 more persons in my company who share this name. Rest is up to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pushpraj (talk • contribs) 13:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete unless this can be turned into a disambiguation page. Articles on names, unless encyclopedic or disambiguation pages, don't belong here. utcursch | talk 11:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Userfy for User:Pushpraj. Needs reliable references, which surely exist (a book on names?). Please contibute using reliable sources, not from personal knowledge. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
