List of Serbian exonyms for places in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Exonyms of a language that is not widespread in that country. No educational use. Z oupan 22:21, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - has no notability whatsoever. I would even challenge the claim that these are exonyms at all; it's basically just a list of how some U.S. places are spelled in Serbian —Мандичка YO 😜 22:28, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or transwiki to Wiktionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. —Granger (talk · contribs) 00:00, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not even appropriate for Wiktionary - these are just spelling variations in a different alphabet. —Мандичка YO 😜 00:18, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Those are appropriate for Wiktionary, assuming that they are really used in Serbo-Croatian. Actually, some of them already have Wiktionary entries, such as Аљаска/Aljaska and Њујорк/Njujork. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:18, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It's not a definition or a new word or term - if you notice, the Serbian-Latin article about New York is sh:New York, not Njujork! Njujork is just the phonetic spelling of the Serbian Cyrillic Њујорк, which is just how you spell New York in that alphabet. It's not even a translation of the name (such as New Orleans = Nouvelle-Orléans in French). Phonetic spelling of names or places don't become new words or terms on their own. It's just how it might be spelled in a different alphabet based on pronunciation. —Мандичка YO 😜 05:03, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
