Delete Agreed with nominator. –Cupper52^Discuss! 12:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mockelberg, page does not meet the criteria for a DAB or a set index article. Servers no navigation function, only entries are nn fictional characters w/o articles. // Timothy :: talk 12:59, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article is need to keep, the surname Nelleis is a real surname, a lot of evidence can found on the web, hope everyone can help keep the page. --Werstone (talk) 2:53, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Keep. This page is deserved to keep, a lot of evidence can prove the surname is real, thank you. --Lord Djibril (talk) 3:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Delete as I said based on Mckelberg, we need sources which are lacking here. Nothing "deserves" a page, and just because a surname is "real", which means 1 or more real people have it or had it, does not mean that we need to have an article on it. Wikipedia has never undertook to be the comprehensive database of all existing surnames. Even if that was a reasonable goal for Wikipedia, we would still need reliable sources to back up every entry, and such sourcing does not exist at all here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information WP:NOT. If there are notable persons with this surname then write an article on them, specifically. A surname is not inherently notable and any notability should be with the individual person, not the surname. --ARose Wolf 17:13, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is a surname page that does not disambiguate and the surname itself has no coverage at all in reliable sources so fails WP:GNG and violates WP:V. The statement It is variant spelling of the Dutch surname “Nelis”. It can also be a reduced form of the Irish surname “McNelis”. could not be verified anywhere and since this article has no other meaningful content, it should be deleted.

Delete. Delete is a no brainer. I checked if this could also be redirected (redirects are cheap) but would advise strongly against it based on how uncommon this name is on WP (n=0) and "out there" and that it is unsourced. Just rid of this stuff. gidonb (talk) 13:37, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This page and a see-also in Nellis are the only two mentions of "Nelleis" in enwiki. Narky Blert (talk) 07:44, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It reads like a directory. Orientls (talk) 06:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
