Surname page listing exactly zero people with the surname, because there simply are no notable people with this surname. The page also provides no information about the surname that might make it notable. The cited source (Namespedia) is not reliable, but if it is to be believed, fewer than 250 people worldwide have this surname, which doesn't help its case either.

*Delete - zero evidence of notability; the page cannot be turned into a disambiguation either as there are currently no articles on people with this surname Spiderone 20:57, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is a music journalist Matthew Schnipper (according to searching Wikipedia) and there is de:Hans-Jürgen Schnipper, but we don't need a disambig page at the moment and we don't have any reliable information about the name. —Kusma (t·c) 17:54, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there's a marginally notable chain of burger joints in NUC with this name; I added five cites. FWIW, I'm a fan. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: If the chain of burger joints is indeed notable, it should have its own article, being Schnipper's. If this article is about the German surname (which it currently purports to be), then it's strange to dedicate it to a fast food chain instead - either the chain is notable enough for its own article, or it's not.

If I could insert a gif here, I would insert the cute girl asking, "Why not both?" There are at least three people with this name who are or could be notable, as well as the burger chain. Bearian (talk) 21:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's still a difference between 'could be' and 'are', of course. I think this page only serves a use (as a disambiguation page, that is) if we have at least two articles about notable people with the name Schnipper and/or the burger chain. As long as those articles don't exist, their notability is not established. But that's just my opinion.

@Spiderone: and @Kusma: you voted delete before Bearian's addition to the article. How do you feel about the current version? Lennart97 (talk) 12:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lennart97, I don't think this page should be a disambiguation style page if we have nothing to point readers to. So either the page should be deleted or repurposed for the burger chain (and then moved to a more appropriate title). —Kusma (t·c) 23:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Schnipper's and reappropriate the article accordingly. I'm still not convinced that the German surname warrants an article but we can always create a disambiguation later if needed. Spiderone 13:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Seems a rather useless page. Oaktree b (talk) 00:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: page does not serve as a proper disambiguation page until an article about the restaurant franchise is created. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
