Is this really notable? It's just basically a clone of this page, just written slightly differently: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/twins.html. If somebody really wants to see this information, they can just go to the original source rather than look at a reproduction of it on Wikipedia.
Plus, it's just not encyclopedic. Save-Me-Oprah(talk) 02:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. I don't think naming twins is a particularly encyclopedic topic. Charles 04:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. Not really notable information. JIP | Talk 04:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Per nom. Simply not encylopaedic. asenine say what? 06:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not encyclopedic in any remote way. JuJube (talk) 06:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-encyclopedic. (I also have the vague suspicion that the list somehow violates privacy, or will eventually. There aren't so many pairs of names, even at the top of the list.) Frank | talk 12:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Only marginally interesting, and not the basis for an encyclopedia article. Sixty-seven births of twins is not statistically significant, even when referring to a coincidence in bestowing names, and 13 births is even less so. Why would 67 new mothers name their twins "Jacob" and "Joshua"? Because there are thousands of equally unimaginative mothers naming boys "Jacob" or "Joshua", both names in the Top 5.
