I saw someone adding some Latin script names to the list, so I was going to rollback to the last good version. There isn't one; all the name are Latin script. Ergo no usable content given, delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

- keep The content is usable, it just needs transliterating. —CodeCat 23:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Which is impossible, as the spellings given here are Englishized. It would require a complete rewrite, and a deletion is easier for doing that. -- Prince Kassad 08:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, hypothetically if I wanted to rewrite an English appendix on the Persian Wiktionary which was written entirely in Persian, I'd sooner blank the content and start from scratch than transliterate a few hundred (maybe a thousand?) given names. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- We would need to know if this list would be any use to someone (bless him) planning to add Persian names. The original initial letters are listed at least. Most transliterations of Persian names would probably meet the CFI. Appendix:Armenian given names and Appendix:Greek given names are also in wrong script. The two Persian ones are almost duplicates so one of them should certainly be deleted.--Makaokalani 16:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Like I've said above, for the Greek appendix I'd either move that to Appendix:Romanizations of Greek given names or just delete it to make way for an actual appendix. Since we have Category:Greek given names such an appendix could be created, and unlike Persian I could probably do it. And if I do (at some point) I'd sooner blank the whole page and start again than convert the Latin words to Greek ones. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:34, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

- That's what I've now done for Greek given names, hopefully, demonstrating the point I've made above. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
