Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soni (Indian family name)

Delete: Wikipedia is not a phonebook. Already deleted once via WP:PROD but quickly recreated. Maybe meant to be a dab page but has no links. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Directory/Dicdef type article, non-notable. Can't this be speedy? --The Way 05:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per CSD A1 and possibly A7. No possible improvement. Cheers -- Imo eng 06:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not sure what the standards are here but there is an entire category tree devoted to surnames, Category:Surnames, which includes Category:Indian family names. But most of them have some content as opposed to this one so it probably is borderline speedy. Dictdefs are specifically not speedy criteria though - see the first bullet point at WP:CSD#Non-criteria. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the articles in Category:Surnames are disambig pages or about famous/notable families (eg. Baca Family of New Mexico or Auerbach (family)). Most of the pages in Category:Indian family names are about casetes or gotras. Probably, there are some deletion-worthy articles as well -- they should go. utcursch | talk 12:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Important article. And I have also added more matter on the article. I intend to add still more, so that the article doesn't remain a stub.

Delete We generally don't have an article on each name in existence in the world, although we have articles on notable individuals WITH that name. See: Mudd. Edison 16:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If I read this correctly it is the Indian equivalent of "smith". Now smith as a name isn't listed in WIkipedia so neither should soni, but, but smith as an occupation is! --Mike 19:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, assuming that no famous person has this name. Redirect if someone does. -Amarkov ^babble 23:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
