List of foreign-language names for Cornwall
An article dedicated solely to various translations of a cities name does not belong on Wikipedia. A translating dictionary maybe?
]- Delete per nom. I do believe Cornwall was once a nation, though, and we have a page at List of country names in various languages, so maybe there could be somewhere to merge this to rather than simply deleting it. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 22:36, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - county of England. It is also one of the six ancient Celtic nations with its own (technically extinct) language and cultural history. Guest9999 (talk) 00:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Please take time to read the start of the article, explaining why it is notable. Do to its unique history, it has something that normally only nations have, that being its own name given to it by various groups. A notable aspect for a notable geographic location.

- Merge to Geography of Cornwall in a more concise form. Interesting information, but not enough to merit its own article. I think the variations of England, Anglaterre, Inglaterra, Англия, etc. are interesting as well, but not enough that we should have a table on the subject, let alone a separate page.

- Delete No source is provided that states Cornwall has foreign-language names independent of transliteration, and since nearly all of them look transliterated, I don't see a reason to believe this is so. If a reliable source is cited in the article for this, then Merge a concise form of this into WP:SALAT says, If you create a list like the "list of shades of colors of apple sauce", be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge. Looks like an apple sauce list to me. JohnWBarber (talk) 16:38, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Wiktionary already gives lists of translations, including for Cornwall.[1] At most, the Cornwall article should have a link to wiktionary. Wikipedia is simply not the appropriate venue for such lists.YobMod 20:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
