There's a decent amount of content left after removing the copyvio and efforts are being made to build up the article.

- Delete, though I could change my mind if it was well cited. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 23:15, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep A list of people bearing a surname, plus a few etymological notes about that surname, is an entirely fine and unremarkable page to have. Now adequately sourced. Should be renamed per WP:APONOTE to Gavigan (surname). XOR'easter (talk) 00:45, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Such a rename would be necessary only if there existed some other article at the same title (and it was the primary topic), see WP:APOTITLE. – Uanfala (talk) 02:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - the article seems to pass the deletion policy regarding names and surnames.--Rpclod (talk) 02:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
