TLAs from AAA to DZZ


Project namespace states that this namespace is for pages with information or discussion about Wikipedia. This page does not contain any information about Wikipedia. Quest for Truth (talk) 20:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Several similar pages can be found at the See also section of the page. They may need to discuss as well. --Quest for Truth (talk) 20:56, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or tag historical, an old page designed to help with maintenance of disambiguation pages with three-letter titles, so definitely within the scope of the Wikipedia namespace. Graham 87 07:23, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. The page does contain information about Wikipedia: its purpose its to tell you which TLAs we have articles about and which ones we don't. I would be happy to let this page go if there were a better alternative, but the page in question and its siblings are still the only way to find out which TLAs have articles. Deleting these pages will break links on TLAs and render Category:Lists of TLAs useless. List of TLA disambiguation pages is a promising link but unfortunately contains only a small subset of possible TLAs. ''Declaration of Interest: I created the pages in question back in 2003. --Heron (talk) 19:24, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I think it might be the nominator's intention is that this belongs in article space rather than project space, with a list title such as List of three-letter abbreviations or something like that. Ego White Tray (talk) 05:53, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is highly appropriate to use WP space to help track mainspace things.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
