• Delete. Wikipedia is no place for geneology. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 12:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• This is definitely one precedent well past its use-by date. When Wikipedia has articles on every surname in the world it will be that much closer towards achieving its goal. Keep.--Gene_poole 06:38, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. not notable. Tobycat 02:42, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into an article on whichever family of surnames into which this one falls. Almost every surname in the world falls into some family, based on derivation or structure (see Smith (surname) for an example of an article that covers a wide swath of topically and structurally related surnames). -- BDAbramson ^thimk 14:03, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
