Draft:Donnelly (surname)

[edit]

Delete: A very stale draft with no edits since April 2011. This editor's only work was on this draft and Donnelly all within a few days in April 2011. ww2censor (talk) 16:02, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I adopted the draft in December 2015 based on its sourced contents and using the draftify script put it in draftspace under the AFC banner. A separate sourced stub on the surname, separate or as part of the Donnelley article, could be created as noted. I haven't followed up that much but I can expand upon it. If desired, I'll userify it and work on it on my own then. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly no good as it is and the original editor is not going to do anything, so if you are prepared to userify it and do something here, I have no objection to either option. If you useify it you can take all the time you want,but if you leave it here it would be best to work on it in a timely fashion. You decide. ww2censor (talk) 22:30, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In what way is it "no good"? It wasn't particularly worse than most of the other Category:Surnames articles. I saved it specifically because it at least had sources. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well maybe it's not so bad really. As you say it does have some sources. I suppose if you added some notable Donnelly's it might be as decent, or even better, than some of those other surnames. One way or another someone should try to get it out of here to mainspace or userify but it's not for me as I have other interests. ww2censor (talk) 23:47, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per User:Ricky81682. Ready for mainspace IMO. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Move to mainspace. Optionally then consider a merge and redirect to Donnelly. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
