Fortuna surname

[edit]

A genealogy article with no sources. Fails to mention even one notable person with this name. Most of this article is not even about the stated topic, but about Italian surnames in general. Beeblbrox (talk) 04:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not WP material. Punkmorten (talk) 07:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no notable material/all unsourced. Looks like someone trying to add there last name to wikipedia Matt (talk) 07:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And your reason is...? Duncan1800 (talk) 08:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, its up there now. Matt (talk) 11:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Completely unsourced OR at this point. No indication at the moment that the subject actually exists as a separate well-defined topic. There might be some notable Fortuna families/dynasties from the middle ages and if so, one could perhaps create separate articles about them. But this certainly requires specialized inquiry into sources first by a knowledgeable editor. Nsk92 (talk) 15:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Original research. I can find one notable person, though. Nick Fortune, the bassist with the Buckinghams (US #1 hit 'Kind Of A Drag'), his real name is Fortuna. But the page is unnecessary, goes off the topic and is completely pointless. Rdbrewster ♪♫♪ 16:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a person with the name does not make for a notable surname. There does not appear to be any research into the significance of this last name, and WP is not a genealogy project. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 16:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I know what the author is trying to do and its not a bad thing--but the subject is not that important, has been orphaned and is unreferenced. Artene50 (talk) 05:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
