Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of repeated names
While one of the |purposes of lists on Wikipedia is to provide information, this is another "list of X that Y" without any justification that is too broad. The source provided above mentions tautonyms in passing once (on p. 646) and provides a brief list of examples, but it provides no evidence that a list of such "repeated names" is a useful or encyclopedic categorization. While it (along with other sources about tautonyms) suggests that the tautonym is an encyclopedic topic (and they certainly are as a lingustic construct), such a passing mention alone does not indicate notability per . Also, as an aside example, I'm no expert on the nuances of the Chinese language, but are all the examples from Chinese necessarily tautonyms... that is to say, is it the same two words in succession in Chinese, or simply in the English transliteration but with different actual tones in Chinese? Such issues lead to  and verifiability issues as well. In the end, could the content be merged to tautonym? Perhaps, but such a list, which is too lengthy to be of value there, but is unlikely to ever be complete in itself and might have verifiability issues, does not seem appropriate. '''Note''': the "list of lists" suggestion by Warden above seems feasible, and my !vote is not averse to that, assuming that the content of said target lists meets appropriate inclusion criteria
