Usually we have lists which either list wikipedia articles, such as List of eponymous laws (although I doubt the encyclpedicity of the later one as well). At best this page must be moved to wiktionary. Lembit Staan (talk) 18:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep https://www.bbc.com/learningenglish/burmese/course/intermediate/unit-26/session-1/activity-2 and http://web.stanford.edu/~clark/1980s/Clark,%20H.H.%20_Making%20sense%20of%20nonce%20sense_%201983.pdf give significant coverage to this. Dream Focus 23:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- A course in English language for Burmese. An additional confirmation that this list belongs to Wiktionary. A wikipedia article would be Adjectives from surnames in English language, or something. Lembit Staan (talk) 18:30, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lists don't have to be lists of articles in order to be useful. (Nor would this content be suitable at Wiktionary.) XOR'easter (talk) 15:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:LISTGLOSSARY: Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, many ideas for glossaries, in which entries would be little more than dictionary definitions ("dicdefs"), may be better suited to Wiktionary. Glossaries that do not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria or not-a-dictionary policy should be migrated to Wiktionary at wikt:Category:English glossaries. Wiktionary also freely forks Wikipedia's encyclopedic glossaries for redevelopment to Wiktionary's purposes and standards, in its Appendix: namespace.

Keep: The name of the list should not be changed, but it is a list of notable people and functions as a navigation list meeting WP:CLN WP:AOAL. The view count supports this as a useful navigation list. // Timothy :: t | c | a 02:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
