List of counterparts of given names

 * (View AfD) (View log)

WP:WINAD. This article is merely a list of names belonging to multiple languages and their translations (i.e. a word list) with no prose or explanatory text that isn't self-referential or encyclopedic purpose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so it has been transwikied to Wiktionary and may now be deleted. It can be found at wikt:Appendix:Table of translations of given names Deletion after transwiki is standard procedure. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 20:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * See precedent at, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of first names, Articles for deletion/List of given names by language, Articles for deletion/List of East African given names, Articles for deletion/List of Vietnamese given names, Articles for deletion/List of Slavic given names, Articles for deletion/List of Zulu first names, Articles for deletion/List of Persian given names, Articles for deletion/List of Zazaki given names, Articles for deletion/List of Hungarian given names, Articles for deletion/List of the most common Russian names, Articles for deletion/List of Lithuanian given names‎, Articles for deletion/List of French given names, Articles for deletion/List of Armenian given names 2, Articles for deletion/List of Portuguese given names, Articles for deletion/List of Roman praenomina, Articles for deletion/List of Modern Greek given names, Articles for deletion/List of Spanish given names Articles for deletion/List of Swedish given names, Articles for deletion/List of Latvian given names, Articles for deletion/List of Romanian given names, Articles for deletion/List of Irish given names, Articles for deletion/List of Italian given names, Articles for deletion/List of Kurdish given names, Articles for deletion/Lists of given names, Articles for deletion/List of Hispanic surnames, etc.

Keep. The table-form itself is explanatory for the list. Complies with WP:LISTV. If Wikitionary can use it as well, this is good for that project, but irrelevant to Wikipedia. -- User:Docu

 * Keep. Useful list. -- Necrothesp 13:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:USEFUL? Please address why it is encyclopedic. Dmcdevit·t 16:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The list has been getting quite messy and needs a huge overhaul. The list is a mess right now, and if there is no way to rectify this, then you should delete it. Also, it's redundant to keep it after transwikiing. --Sapphire Flame 15:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Read the notice on the page: "Being transwikied in no way affects the disposition of the article on Wikipedia". -- Necrothesp 15:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. Khoikhoi 09:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree that this is what Wikipedia is not, and this should be transwikied. Inheritantly problematic with OR, and not something which meets Wikipedia's foundation principles.  Daniel.Bryant  10:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is what we have inter-language links for. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep encyclopedic; more useful than articles on dubious histories of some surnames that are now termed a "series". Carlossuarez46 07:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
