WP:WINAD. These article are merely lists of names belonging to a language (i.e. a word list) with no prose or explanatory text or encyclopedic purpose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so they have been transwikied to Wiktionary and may now be deleted.

Deletion after transwiki is standard procedure. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 07:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:WINAD, is this the last of the lists like this? Jeepday 04:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
    • The only one not yet included is List of Hebrew names, because there were technical difficulties in transwikiing it. And there maybe some that weren't correctly categorized. Dmcdevit·t 04:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Cedlaod 04:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete : Wiki is not a directory. Ohconfucius 05:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete/Keep. Traditional Names in Ghana contains one sentence of information that I find interesting; the rest is examples of the names generated by the pattern. That sentence is not Wiktionary-type information, I think. --Alvestrand 06:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I've merged the information into Ghanaian name, since that'e the proper naming convention for encyclopedic articles about the names (like Arabic name, Chinese name, etc.). Please expand it if you can. Dmcdevit·t 07:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment I found a couple references on put on the article Ghanaian name. The subject looks to pass WP:N but the references could be better addressed for WP:V if anyone has better references please add them. Jeepday 12:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
