- Delete Not a topic for an encyclopedia; WP is not a list of surnames. --Wtshymanski (talk) 05:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – It appears that there's a significant precedent for such articles. The comment above, "WP is not a list of surnames" is countered by the existence of these articles:
- List of most common surnames in Africa
- List of most common surnames in Asia
- List of most common surnames in Central America
- List of most common surnames in Europe
- List of most common surnames in North America
- List of most common surnames in Oceania
- List of most common surnames in South America
- List of surnames in Russia
- List of surnames in Ukraine
- List of common Chinese surnames
- No offense, but the !vote to delete above by User:Wtshymanski appears to be based upon his or her personal opinion, rather than fact and precedent. This !vote to delete isn't based upon sourcing or the availability of reliable sources to qualify topic notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, please differ between an article about one surname and an article (called list) listing multiple surnames. I'm pretty sure Wtshymanski commented on the first. --Ben Ben (talk) 15:15, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, the Category:Surnames#Pages in category "Surnames" lists about 29000 articles, but a grab sample gives that all of them are used as a WP:SETINDEX for disambiguation. At the moment there is nothing to DAB for Schuessling. Also a quick calc about wanting etymologic articles for all surnames would lead to the need of between 5 - 100 Mio. new articles (7 billion peoble, 7000 languages, 0.5 to 10.0 Mio. share per surname). Would be a nice job for the inclusionists. --Ben Ben (talk) 15:40, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
