List of directional name places[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:LISTNAME, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOT. A full list should also include places like Eston, Norton, Sutton and Weston; and Essex, Sussex and Wessex; and Norfolk and Suffolk.
And that's just in English. How about, for example, Noord-Holland, Vladivostok, Sul and Zachód, Szczecin? Narky Blert (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article links to 52 (fifty-two) different DAB pages, and has done so for at least two days. It looks as if neither I nor any other participant in WP:DPL wants even to begin facing the task of trying to sort them out. Narky Blert (talk) 22:28, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-serious comment. The East, Middle, South and West Saxons left their mark upon the English landscape, or at least upon its mythic history. But, you might ask, what happened to the North Saxons? They settled in Nosex; where they failed to thrive. 01:44, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Delete - this could include a suburb for every major town on the planet. Blythwood (talk) 11:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Any really interesting ones could go on Wikipedia:Unusual place names, which seems to be a holding space for things nobody wants to delete but which don't exactly belong in the encyclopedia. Meanwhile List of places with numeric names is subject of a merge debate which might be influenced by the outcome of this discussion. Colapeninsula (talk) 14:49, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
