List of Armenian given names
Per WP:WINAD and prior strong precedent, I have transwikied this article to wikt:Appendix:Armenian given names, where it is more appropriate. Lists of names are not encyclopedic, but they do belong in Wiktionary, and that's where we have moved them before (e.g., see Votes for deletion/List of first names). This should now be deleted.

 * Delete per nom. And ditto all similar articles. Emeraude 17:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As it's a careful selection, it should be included. Lists are definitely wikipedic. If it's useful also for other Mediawiki projects, it's good to add it there as well. -- User:Docu
 * How are "lists definitely wikipedic"? I couldn't agree less.  Lists should have a place if, and only if, they are of a clearly defined finite content of things that actually belong together as a list.  Examples might be 'List of countries in the European Union' or 'List of metallic elements' or 'List of best actor Oscars' (though even the last two are not necessarily worthy of their own page if they could be better included as part of articles on 'Elements' or 'Oscar winner' respectively).  The list must belong together - it  must have meaning AS A LIST.  This list does not qualify - it must be totally impossible and certainly impractical to list EVERY Armenian given name, and even if it could be done, is it necessary?  Let the Mormons collect names; Wikipedia is not a genealogy database.  Emeraude
 * There may be a confusion about given names and surnames. Genealogy is mainly about the later. -- User:Docu


 * Keep. Agreed that lists are wikipedic. It helps identify Armenian names, besides there are English names on wikipedia, why not Armenian? You do not need EVERY Armenian name, the list is already pretty big and covers alot of the names used by the 7-8 million Armenians in the world. If it get's deleted and moved, then include all lists of given names. Thanks. Fedayee 23:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Conditional Keep Unless every single article within is deleted I vote for a keep.--Eupator 23:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep.Given names is an important part of a culture. Also it would be a double standart to delete Armenian names list and keep others.--Hattusili 00:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article shouldn't be deleted, but it may need to be moved to Wiktionary. This, however, requires a different tag, not the deletion one. -- Augustgrahl 02:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree that which names belong to which cuture and language are important and useful information. I suggest the article needs ekpansion instead to make it more informative - list meanings, etymology of the names etc. -- Athanatis 11:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
