Talk:Ville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Essentially merely an impossibly long list. --Wetman 01:44, 3 May 2005 (UTC)


Should -ville be added to the suffix template? Revolución 21:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable -ville cities

The list of notable -ville cities has blossomed in the last week or two. I've never even heard of most of these cities. What is notable about them? To avoid listcruft we don't need to list every -ville, just the ones that are especially large or famous, I think. Pfly 08:12, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The list of notable -villes has suddenly gotten long. Too many wikipedia articles have unnecessarily long lists. Let's try to keep this one under control -- particularly large or famous -villes, or -villes that are fundamental to the history of naming cities -ville. And remember, this is a world-wide scope, not just the USA. Add a -ville if it is globally notable. I deleted all the -villes from the list that seemed unnotable to me. If I made a mistake, I apologize. It might be a good idea to describe the notability of a new -ville listed here on the talk page, if it isn't immediately obvious. Thanks!

"Ville" has its origins in a term used by Anglo and Saxon nobels to describe the common man thought to be literally 'vile', a threat to their security; therefore 'ville' and 'villager' had base and vulgar connotations in their beginnings. 65.95.181.157 12:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
