Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Place names considered unusual
Encyclopedic.   is pretty clear that assertions in articles don't need to be true; they just need to be sourced.  Some place names are of interest; in fact, I would cite Mary Pukui's fabulous ''Place Names of Hawaii'' (ISBN 0824805240), currently sitting on my shelf and my invariable companion in Hawaiian expeditions, as an example of a way that an editor can compile interesting place names in such a way as to produce an encyclopedic, verifiable and NPOV text.  This article doesn't violate wikipedia policy; although it's currently in pretty sorry shape, I think it might one day turn into an article like List of people believed to have epilepsy, a "list" that rewards the encyclopedic reader by its perusal
