List of place names in Poland of German origin

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I started this ages ago, and it is really poor. For One, it is poorly cited, so it is not known, for example, the true causality in some of these cases. Without proper sources, it’s not possible to know whether the Polish name actually predates the other, or whether both share a common separate source. Two, unless a similar article exists with Polish place names in Germany (to emphasize both countries intertwined cultural history), I am always worried (perhaps unreasonably so) that this will appeal to dumb irredentist passions. And that would be horrible. Three, all this info is just taken from random other articles, and is covered with German exonyms article.--Simen113 (talk) 06:12, 30 December 2021 (UTC) Simen113 (talk) 06:12, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Interesting topic, but it needs good sourcing per WP:V. If the very creator thinks this needs WP:TNTing... maybe draftify if the creator thinks they may come back to this one day? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the article's own creator wants WP:TNT on an article that's been mostly unsourced for its entire five-year existence, I can't see any good reason to get in the way. -- asilvering (talk) 02:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
