Andr.[edit]

Tagged RFV, but not listed, and RFD seems like the more appropriate venue, per the comment the tag-adder left. - -sche (discuss) 08:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually not so sure. How are such abbreviations used? My initial reaction was that since they refer to individuals they should be deleted, in the same way that Smith shouldn't list all of the people to whom 'Smith' might refer. But I'm now not as sure.

Keep. These abbreviations refer to individuals (or groups of individuals, e.g. Cuv. & Val.), but these entries are not about individuals, they are about abbreviations used according to international conventions. The sense of a word is not a good deletion reason. Lmaltier (talk) 08:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
