Was speedy marked, but is not a candidate. r3m0t talk 23:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, unless it's a really small town, I can't seem to figure out the size of it. Any Romanians know? O bli (Talk) 02:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Please Keep, I've been to Kisbacs, so I'm quite sure it exists. I'll inquire shortly into its size and try to update the article. (I'm the primary author.) Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.192.209.61 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep if you can find something verifiable on it. It gets Google hits, especially when properly accented as Kisbács, but I'm not up to reading them. Tearlach 04:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * comment The name Kisbács would appear to be a Romanian name for the Hungarian village of Baciu. It seems that if at least 20% of the population of a Hungarian conubation are of an ethnic (possibly only Romanian, but I cant work it out) minority, they are entitled to bilingual signs. Mapquest recognises Baciu. but not Kisbács. Jcuk 08:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * comment Thanks for the research! Actually, Baciu is the Romanian name. Mapquest recognizes it and not Kisbács (the Hungarian name) because it's situated inside the borders of Romania. Note that if you Google Kisbács, you find a number of Hungarian-language sites. Also note - the letter "k" doesn't exist in the Romanian language (except where they borrow words from abroad), and neither does the letter combination "cs", which combines to make the equivalent of our "ch" sound in Hungarian(or something like it.) Thanks again. --128.192.209.61 15:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)The guy who put up this entry.


 * Keep, but try to include all names, including German name.--RBrancusi 01:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)


 * commentI agree with that. There is already a link to the Romanian name of the village. I am unaware of the existence of a German name. (Although it's certainly true that most towns in Transylvania (Siebenburgen) have Romanian, Hungarian, and German names.) --128.192.246.117 20:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC) The original author of this entry.
