We are not a dictionary. (Sorry about the many afd nominations, I'm going through Category:stubs, tagging what is good, deleting, or nominating here). —— Eagle101 Need help? 03:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep I would have to say keep, as the etymology of words and names is worth knowing. Some may contest that, but since Wikipedia is an open-source encyclopedia it is up to interpretation what is important or not. If more notable information can be added to this article - importantly the origin of the name (what culture, what century, its first appearance in written text). As silly as it seems, names are important in view of the culture they stem from. --Ozgod 06:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
    • The etymology of words, proper nouns or otherwise, is lexicography. If you wish to do lexicography, the project that will welcome you, and any other similarly minded editor, is over there. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Uncle G 00:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete pending references and expansion The key here is that the article needs to provide some information a dictionary entry doesn't. As it currently stands, though, the article isn't referenced and doesn't have any more background information on the name than, say, a Wiktionary article would. If the article can be expanded and sourced, though, to include some referenced historical information about the name then I'll probably change to "keep". Dugwiki 19:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki and Delete. This is the nth name article to be listed at AfD and a pretty strong consensus appears to have been reached. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Nuttah68 13:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • What if this info is added on the Stacy disambig page?
  • Delete I wouldn't transwiki as it is unreferenced and self-contradictory. Does it mean "beautiful", "ressurection" or "fruitful"? Caknuck 02:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
