Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of names in English with counterintuitive pronunciations
ultimately as |Wikipedia is not a dictionary or pronunciation guide. This list is largely useless to 99% of readers who are not literate in IPA. One will be left with the knowledge that a given name has a counterintuitive pronunciation, but little idea of how to pronounce it (I am aware of the links to the IPA pages, but I imagine the clickthrough rate is quite low). If the article is kept, I recommend using List of words of disputed pronunciation as a model of how to give a bit more description. Given the paucity of content, this material would be much better presented as as a category on Wiktionary. Setting aside the state of the article and considering its |potential, this still does not pass muster; the scope is far too wide for this to be an encyclopedic topic worthy of inclusion and were it complete, it would have tens of thousands of entries
