The page is an etymology of the family name Woodstrup. I proposed the article for deletion with the comment, "The etymology of a less-common family name is not inherently notable. The page cites no sources and has no clear indication of notability." PROD was contested by User:Woody62, who added an external link to the town of Vodstrup, Denmark, on Google Maps and another to the CV of someone called Bart Woodstrup. Neither counts as a reliable source for the etymology. In addition, etymologies are not typically included on Wikipedia. There is also no evidence that the family name comprises a notable topic.

Delete -- Without any reliable sources, it is impossible to claim notability or include this article in WP. The article argues against its own notability by stating this is not a long history name, few people have it. — CactusWriter | needles 20:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Not notable. Someone could call it "fam-cruft", not that I would stoop to such a pun, but it'll just tempt people to do that until it gets deleted, so best delete it now. -- Noroton (talk) 14:06, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete due to lack of secondary sources. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
