Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cliburn (surname)
We've got countless surname articles (:Category:Surnames). Like JHunterJ mentioned, these kind of things are the bread and butter of nthroponymy. I'm gonna try and make a useful stub of this article and save it from deletion. If everyone pitched in we might be able to make a pretty good one. I suspect the first of the surname, Robert, who is recorded in 1364, is somehow connected to the Robert who built Cliburn Hall in 1387. The hall still exists today, apparently it was fixed up in the 1600s by a member of the Cliburn family. There's a photo of it in Google images search but I doubt we can use it. Anyway, a photo of the hall would be pretty cool for this article, sine it was built by a earler bearer of the name, and sits in the same town which gave rise to the surname. It'd be relevant to the article on the town too, since we've got Cliburn,_Cumbria#Cliburn_Hall|a little section about it
