  • This fails as a list of people (empty list) and it fails as an encyclopaedic discussion of the name per se. The content consists only of its (unsourced) meaning in Turkish (the link to the town should be a "see also" at best). I'm all for having articles on names on Wikipedia, but in its current state this is in WP:NOTDIC territory so a soft redirect to wikt:Ilgın is a solution.

    I thought those types of redirects to other languages are discouraged, since the lack of a red link gives the impression that a en.WP article exists. H:FOREIGNLINK discusses using {{ interlanguage link}}.Bagumba ( talk) 08:37, 28 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Bagumba: The link I suggested is not an iterlanguage link – it is a link to the English Wiktionary. Spinning Spark 12:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    Thanks, my mistake.— Bagumba ( talk) 12:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    Wikt comment A Wiktionary link is a better alternative to keeping—I still prefer delete (see below)—but we don't fully meet the WP:POINTWIKT policy either (bold for emphasis):

    For Wikipedia articles which could only ever be dictionary definitions and keep being re-created and re-deleted, or which could potentially be proper articles but are dictionary-like stubs at the moment, it is possible to effectively "salt" them with a soft redirect to Wiktionary

  • Delete Without any en.WP bios of people with the name, this is not a standalone name lists, as allowed per MOS:DABNAME and consistent with WP:APO/S. As a pure article on the name, we need significant coverage, else this is a permastub. Per the guideline WP:WHYN:

    We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list.

  • Keep. It doesn’t need to have articles about people with the name to be notable. It is referenced and can be expanded upon. Bookworm857158367 ( talk) 00:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC) reply
