List of Irish surnames starting with A[edit]
- List of Irish surnames starting with A (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
I just found this article List of Irish surnames starting with A and on review it appears to be a child (poorly built) of List of Irish surnames, which was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of surnames 2. So I bring it to you to ask your opinion if the 25 (none for "X") child articles should have the contents of the lists transwikied to Wiktionary, merged to wiktionary:Appendix:Irish surnames, and be deleted?

Transwiki to wiktionary:Category:Surname appendices – so that they can be merged into wiktionary:Appendix:Irish surnames – and delete.– Black Falcon (Talk) 04:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Delete per Jeepday's comment below. A closer look at the lists reveals that a good portion of the names are not Irish or are not generally considered Irish (Johnson, Walker, et cetera). – Black Falcon (Talk) 05:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Transwiki & delete per Black Falcon. SkierRMH (talk) 04:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, Transwiki may not be indicated. The creater User talk:BlakeCS is blocked for hoax creation. Straight delete may be more appropriate for these unreferenced articles. Jeepday (talk) 05:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or Transwiki A very heavily reduced version of this might be of use in Wiktionary (i.e. keep the clearly Gaelic derived names with sourcing). The list author seems to have trouble with differentiating Irish and Scottish names (there's an overlap, but names like Keith, Carmichael and Chalmers clearly belong on a Scottish list.)

- Delete The parent List of Irish surnames has been long deleted but its 25 sub-articles were missed. Saga City (talk) 17:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all - per Saga City. Also: how could this ever be properly referenced? LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- References A search at Google books Finds 724 books fully viewable online that speak to Irish Surnames. So the answer is it could be easily referenced from the comfort of your keyboard. Jeepday (talk) 14:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
