Nominated in 2010 with no participation. There are no Wikipedia articles about people with this name, and it has no WP:SIGCOV, so therefore fails WP:NNAME. I can't find sufficient reliable sources establishing notability, either. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 01:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• The one source cited is one of those automated statistics-regurgitating WWW sites, and does not even support the claims in the article in any case. The source says nothing about Greek, for example. The earlier completely different article content that went through AFD the first time was challenged as false after standing unsourced for 7 years in Special:Diff/469708490. I can find no good supporting source for either form of the article. As far as I can tell, the article is false in both forms that it has had in its 18 year history, and I cannot find a good source for anything true to say about this subject. I don't trust Bruce Lansky's book because I do not think that it is either expert-written or expert-sourced. If the claim were true, classicists would have documented this name for centuries, and they have not. Uncle G (talk) 10:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Just a given name. The claim that ‘The origin of the name Edilma is Greek and means “Remains Young”. Edilma comes from the Greek Edelia’ doesn't seem true/or verifiable; and I don't know (I am Greek) of any Greek name "Eledia", ancient or modern, or any other meaning "Remains Young". ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary of names so fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and no current bearers of the name in Wikipedia per Special:AllPages/Edilma. Geschichte (talk) 10:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
