Similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of irregularly spelled places in the United States, this awful list has nothing that's irregularly spelled, only irregularly pronounced, except it's all subjective. Moreover, many of these names are not even English.... Reywas92^Talk 23:37, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:*Delete I'm not sure how a list like this could be anything but opinion. The collision of germanic and latin (french) influences in english make "irregular" spellings the norm. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 01:07, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

• I'm not sure what should be done about this, but at the very least I would say remove everything that does not cite to a source specifically describing the spelling as irregular, which might be just about the entire article. I note as well that some of the entries are for regularly spelled names that are purportedly pronounced irregularly. BD2412 T 01:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Besides, any such list that doesn't include Cholmondeley is hopeless. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:27, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete. It appears to be a very random list and a very random article to be included. Gilc (talk) 20:14, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
