City of Cities

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was originally a redirect to Paris, converted into a well-meaning but unsourced DAB. Google Search gives results for the Ruhr region, Sydney, Guangzhou, Santiago de Chile, etc. I'm not sure anything can be done for this, perhaps a soft-redirect to Wiktionary for the definition "a large city"? power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 04:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I would be inclined to just delete it. I'm not sure the soft redirect makes sense. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 07:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - considering the current state and any scope for improvement, I don't see any benefit to keep seeing as it gives zero information about what a "city of cities" may actually mean, nor links to anything substansive. At best, it may become an article offering a vague yet questionable defintion of what some may think it means; even if it adapts to that, we already have wiktionary. A redirect anywhere would be reliant upon a verifiable source. I think just deleting is best. Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to be a fairly common phrase that can be applied to just about any city. The first five of the Google Books results linked above show me books about Sydney, London, Milan, Christchurch and New York, and I'm not quite sure what to make of the sixth. I think readers would be better served by having nothing under this title than a mish-mash of cities to which this name has been applied. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:47, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a valid disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
