The title says it all. Fails WP:NLIST by a wide, wide margin. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete This is actually not quite as silly and random a concept for a list as it may seem at first glance. The idea seems to be that while there is no place called "Dale, Virginia", there are places in Virginia that may occasionally be incorrectly called "Dale" (e.g. Dale City, Virginia) as well as a person called Virginia Dale. There is a "disambiguation page" (scare quotes very much intentional) at Dale, Virginia. The page histories are kind of a mess—this page was initially at the title Dale, Virginia before being moved to the current title, which turned Dale, Virginia into a redirect. Then that redirect was turned into the current "disambiguation page" and here we are. There also used to be an article called Places in West Virginia with names involving "Dale" before it was deleted back in 2013 (see WP:Articles for deletion/Places in West Virginia with names involving "Dale"). At any rate, this list was intended as a navigational/disambiguation one and doesn't do that properly (for reasons that are amply discussed at Talk:Dale, Virginia) so it has no valid raison d'être.

 * Delete per WP:NLIST and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Pranesh Ravikumar (talk) 10:53, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete This list masquerading as an article is a clear-cut case of WP:NLIST and WP:INDISCRIMINATE.TH1980 (talk) 02:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
