~~Per WP:LISTN - I can't seem to find any reliable sources discussing these as a group, and~~ much of this list seems to be WP:OR. ansh666 17:41, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, then, I'm going to withdraw this AfD. It does need better criteria for inclusion (which includes sources), but that can be settled on the talkpage. ansh666 20:50, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here's a source in which the topic appears as a heading: Tautological Place Names. There's plenty of other sources which discuss examples of such in various ways. The topic therefore passes WP:LISTN. Andrew (talk) 18:46, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
