[edit] Fuqua

This is a bizarre page that almost seems like a disamb. page but isn't. It covers a non-notable surname and what appears to be original research picked up by a couple of dozen other sites either due to its inclusion on Wikipedia or possibly the work of the author. I would just create a disamb. page out of this to deal with Antoine Fuqua and the school mentioned, but it appears that we have been getting on just fine without one. Erechtheus 03:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC) In light of the improvement made to list several notable persons named Fuqua and to delete the most objectionable material, I withdraw the AfD.

• Delete: Wikipedia is not Wiktionary nor a genealogical site nor a regionalism site. Geogre 13:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep after removing cruft. The ethnic origin of the surname may be verifiable information that is worth saving. The trivia about "Fuqua tonne" should be removed, and a list of notable people bearing the Fuqua name added. Smerdis of Tlön 14:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• I have edited the article and attempted to improve it. The creator missed a number of Fuquas that a search revealed; I added them. Smerdis of Tlön 14:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as DAB page. Get rid of the genealogy link per WP:NOT. The school link belongs in that article, not here. If the etymology of the name is kept, move it to the bottom. Fan-1967 14:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• At minimum, the information about the usual pronunciations should be kept. This is going to inspire curiosity, for trivial reasons. Smerdis of Tlön 14:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keeping the pronunciation seems reasonable, especially given the possible wrong guesses. ;-) Fan-1967 17:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and fix per above. Jacks n' Jill 14:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A notably peculiar name such as this deserves some treatment. I've always wondered how "Fuquay-Varina" was pronounced. After reading this article, I stand corrected. Could be improved with citations and list of persons or places bearing this name. Rohirok 16:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and refactor as a disambiguation page. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 17:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
