Speedy Keep We had discussed about this article once and came to a conclusion to keep this article. Interestingly this article is again nominated for deletion by the same user Arjun! There is nothing wrong with the article. There are enough References and External links. It is a prominent family name in Kerala, India and is worth keeping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.129.40 (talk) 20:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange. I do not see any deletion discussion for this article before, that you refer to. Any links? prashanthns (talk) 20:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arjun is perfectly entitled to nominate the article here at AFD if a WP:PROD or WP:CSD nomination has been declined. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dint realise that it was a contested PROD. No issues on nomination, of course. prashanthns (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Undoubtedly. Per conclusions reached at Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames it has significant history other than just history and genealogy. Needs good sources and improvement, definitely not a delete. prashanthns (talk) 20:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is another important aspect to be considered while you search for Palakkappillil in the internet. This family is known also by the names Payyappilly, Payapilly, Palackapilly etc. Thus it can be spelled differently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.130.47 (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also turns up so many internal hits within WP. prashanthns (talk) 20:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite as a name page, or merge to Varghese Palakkappillil. At the moment, the article states that it is about the family rather than the name. To keep it as an article about the name, it would help to demonstrate notability if there were at least two persons with the name who were notable enough to have their own articles. Until then, merge and redirect. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think there is any need to rewrite or merge the article. The family is more noted for its history rather than its notable members. And if there is a need of two persons with the name who are notable enough to have their own articles, then it is better to start a new page on Dr. Prasant Palakkappillil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.138.146 (talk) 08:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, although members of the family may consider it notable, notability is not shown in the references, and since notability is not transferred, I'm not sure the argument holds that because some individuals are notable, the family is also. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just because one member of a family is notable doesn't mean that the family is notable. 27.57.130.74 (talk) 18:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Varghese Palakkappillil. There is no indication that this surname is notable or there is anyone else notable with this surname, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames. --Pink Bull 22:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
