AfDs for this article:

- Delete No references. Maybe consolidate this and other Category:Nigerian Names into a common article. (Nominated by User:Slayer4x4)
- Comment As there are 9 ghits for this name, four of which are Wikipedia based and connected to this article, I'm not so sure about the popularity of the name. It could be that the vast majority of the Yurlyagenis have avoided internet mention and live quietly in little grass huts still waiting to be discovered, but I doubt it. The article is hardly informative - are the bearers of this name male, female or either? Who are famous examples? (Who are not-famous examples, even?) Currently, this article takes minimalism to a new level. As the author's other edits (four of them listed) are to do with soccer in Tasmania, I'm not too sure about their expertise in African names, either. I agree with Ged UK that this isn't 'blatant', but could also agree with Slayer4x4 about the second part of the phrase... Peridon (talk) 22:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Delete This is a hoax. I can find no evidence for this being a popular name, and virtually none for it as a name at all - except for a football forum where the user is claiming to be Nigerian and located in Liverpool. (An admin of the forum suspects this is not correct, and states that the user's IP is based in Tasmania.) The only other edits of the author are in connection with soccer in Tasmania. This article was created the same day as the name appeared on the forum. The forum (for Everton FC fans) can be seen at http://www.toffeetalk.com/index.php?/topic/22001-hi/ The user of the forum by this name hasn't posted there since.
