Fails WP:NNAME and has no WP:SIGCOV. I can't seem to find any reliable and relevant sources. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 05:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I moved this here two years ago with basically the same rationale, [1]. If nothing came up in this time, there isn't much WP:POTENTIAL. Let's do a courtesy ping of the original author of that line from 2019, @TonyTheTiger: --Joy (talk) 08:30, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The history and usage of a name is notable in and of itself. Keep and add references as necessary; don't delete just to delete. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 18:10, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A name is not inherently notable and there is nothing special about this name. It fails WP:NNAME and its content could be sufficiently explained in Ante (name) anyway, but as Joy argued, there may not even be a need for that. Also, adding unreliable sources isn't going to help your cause. How about don't keep just to keep? AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 19:44, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I don’t see the point in deleting articles just for the heck of it. I found some sources that verify the meaning with a 10 second Google search, which means there are quite likely better published sources in existence that I don’t have access to. It is apparently the Lithuanian version of Tony, which also suggests that there are probably notable people who go by the nickname. I don’t have the time or inclination to dig up all the references here but I don’t like nominations for deletion for articles that should be improved instead.

  I don't like to see articles that could be improved nominated for deletion either, but I believe that this name simply isn't notable. As I previously mentioned, there are no Wikipedia articles on people with this name, and there is nothing significant about it, so it fails the basic rule of WP:NNAME. Many of those sources explaining etymology are likely unreliable. I don't know if better sources exist, but I sure can't find any. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 03:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll suggest returning the content to Ante (name) as an alternative to deletion. I do, however, note Joy's argument that there doesn't appear to be much potential for improvement. This is therefore a weak merge suggestion. Cnilep (talk) 03:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ante (name), as a reasonable solution. BD2412 T 21:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
