WP:NOT issues. This is a list of city names in a foreign language, with no sources. It possibly could be moved to some other Wikimedia wiki, but I don't know which, or how best to do so. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify, or send it to my userspace. It is undoubtedly a WP:NOT list, but as a decent list of Syriac language place names, I think the information itself can be used elsewhere. Prince of Thieves (talk) 11:52, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially delete per WP:USEENGLISH and WP:PLACE#Use English, but I would not object to moving it to user space. In principle, established English names should be used both for article titles and within the text of articles. Syriac translations of these English titles may be useful for some editors or readers, but their use in article space seems like a WP:YELLOWPAGES rather than an encyclopedic list.

Delete as per the rational of the nom and above editors. If Prince of Thieves would like it sent to their userspace, no issue with that. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:55, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
