Indiscriminate unreferenced list of proper names, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Other such articles have recently been deleted, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/French exonyms. toweli (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Language, Geography, Lists, Europe, and Armenia. toweli (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Just because the French article was deleted, that does not automatically validate the others being deleted as well. There are around ~45 other "exonym" articles which still exist. They should all be nomed for deletion if we are going to use WP:NOTDICT as our justification. It is not fair to omit any of them based on this policy. If the policy isn't applied more fairly, I'd lean to a Keep and improve for this article. Archives908 (talk) 16:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- A mass deletion failed a few months ago because not all such lists are equally trivial. So they are being nominated separately. —Tamfang (talk) 05:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete or transwiki no evidence that WP:NLIST is met. Archives908, are you aware of significant RS coverage about Armenian exonyms as a group? (t · c) buidhe 13:24, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 21:45, 4 October 2024 (UTC)- Delete: As usual, nearly all the entries are trivial examples of the necessity of adapting borrowed words to a new phonology. —Tamfang (talk) 05:26, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Can be significantly expanded and improved, I don't think WP:TNT is worth it. Archives908 (talk) 14:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- I am not convinced that expansion of trivia is a good thing. —Tamfang (talk) 23:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
