Deleting the wikipedia import
This stub of names of English origin did not give any information that couldn't be found in given name entries, or in categories:English male/female given names from English/Old English, also English surnames from Middle/Old English. The table of diminutives was added by Alasdair who never uses edit summaries.--Makaokalani 12:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion debate
Alasdair has copied this appendix to Appendix:Hypocoristics for English names. That appendix should be deleted first, and this one moved there, to save the page history.

The title is too ambiguous in an English dictionary. Any appendix dealing with English names should have a specified title, "Given names of England in the nineteenth century", or some such.--Makaokalani 13:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Except that it's not limited to one country or one century. --EncycloPetey 13:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it needs deleting or merging or something. He's literally just copied and pasted the whole page, which is against our copyright rules, isn't it? Mglovesfun (talk) 13:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * All the present content of this appendix is also by Alasdair, and it deals with diminutives, not what you'd except from the title. He keeps copying his own stuff; the "Spanish names for Maria" appendix has appeared in several places ( in Maria, Appendix:Spanish given names, etc.) I'm going through the given name appendices in alphabetical order and getting a headache... --Makaokalani 13:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed to, surely you don't want to delete the whole page, do you? See Appendix talk:English given names. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
