[edit] The name Gill

• delete. wikipedia not genealogy tool. Also notability. Also, something makes me to think that this is a hoax. Mikkalai 14:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If an article is to be written on this topic, it should be Gill (surname), for consistency's sake, should address the name origin more generally, and should but no redirect b/c the information here was unsourced - I've been able to find no verification. -- 8^D BD2412^gab 18:10, 2005 Apr 14 (UTC)
• Delete, genealogycruft. Surname information goes to Wiktionary. RickK 18:58, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary is poorly watched, in comparison with wikipedia. You better not give anons such advices. Mikkalai 20:28, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Keep if verified, like Smith, and transwiki. . Kappa 21:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Unlike "smith" or Nick, the information is unverifiable. Mikkalai 21:36, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unverifiable. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, geneology, cruft. Megan1967 07:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Note, this is a sub-caste in India, whose members use it for a surname. Therefore, it is an encyclopedic topic. Neverthless, it is a copy of Gill (caste) and a WP:CP. -12.74.169.5 15:53, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Sub-note, for a European equivalent, see Clan Donald. -12.74.169.5 16:01, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Heh, I knew it was notable and verifiable. Redirect it to Gill (caste) Kappa 16:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • copyvio anyway. I am very surprized my google search didn't show this site. Usually I always search for phrases in such cases, to eliminate copyvio on spot. Mikkalai 17:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • Presumably it's copyvio of something in the book [1], which isn't on the web. Kappa 18:35, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
          • It is on the web: Just follow the link from the page you mention: click at "Alphabet G Clans" link, and you will get the exact copy of wikiarticle (actually, other way around) under GILL subsection. Mikkalai 19:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
