is this list actually useful ? It isn't possible to list all the place names in a single page, is it ? Koxinga 19:17, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Suggest it is split up by continent, then by country. -- Paul G 11:47, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Some disambiguation pages are needed: for example, "Armenia, Colombia" links to the country Armenia. -- Paul G 11:47, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This page may to be better ....look the example: http://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_Ap%E9ndice:Lugares#R

English[edit]

Is it somehow possible to get the word 'English' in the title? English place names implies place names in England, but these are place names in the English language, rather than translingual or multilingual. --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

RFD discussion: September 2016–July 2018[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


This appendix, and all its subpages (which have not been individually tagged, but are included in this RFD) are the result of historical confusion about how CFI should treat place names. We are now in a longstanding stable position of handling place names in the normal entries, just like any other words, and these appendices no longer have a purpose for Wiktionary (as for general informational content, if someone needs such lists, Wikipedia is the place that should supply them). Refer to #Appendix:Place names/Greater Manchester, which will be archived at Appendix talk:Place names/Greater Manchester, for more. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:09, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Delete, but should we create entries for the red links first? Equinox 00:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yes and {{toponym}} which is nominated below as these should be in the main namespace. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:26, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Delete current policy and practice supports inclusion of place names as 'normal entries'. John Cross (talk) 07:57, 18 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
