Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of names in English with counterintuitive pronunciations (5th nomination)
There are plenty of reliable sources that discuss how certain names have counter-intuitive pronunciations. I don't have the time to add them all to this article, but see, for example:{{cite book |last=Hargraves |first=Orin |date=2011 |title=Culture Shock! Chicago |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZTWJAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA227 |publisher=Marshall Cavendish International |page=227 |isbn=9814484792 |quote="This list is not exhaustive by any means, but but includes names whose local pronunciation may be deemed to be counterintuitive by speakers of other languages."}}{{cite book |last=Wells |first=John |date=2016 |title=Sounds Fascinating: Further Observations on English Phonetics and Phonology |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7_sODQAAQBAJ&pg=PA6 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=5-6 |isbn=1316824691}} (Discussing the "counter-intuitive pronunciation" of the word "netsuke."){{cite book |last=Coombes |first=Allen J. |date=2012 |title=The A to Z of Plant Names: A Quick Reference Guide to 4000 Garden Plants |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=capqDQYT_VYC&pg=PA17 |publisher=Timber Press |page=17 |isbn=1604693983}} (Discussing the controversial nature of plant name pronunciations.){{cite book |last=Fradkin |first=Robert A. |date=1996 |title=The Well-tempered Announcer: A Pronunciation Guide to Classical Music |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I4pLZRdbZqsC&pg=PA245 |publisher=Indiana University Press |page=234 |isbn=025321064X |quote=The name Yamashita is sometimes pronounced as in Italian = yah-mah-shee-tah, but it is actually yah-mahsh-tah.}}. Many of these sources discuss the origins, significance, and controversies surrounding these pronunciations. I think that this level of discussion analysis rises above a mere dictionary-style presentation. Therefore, I think this passes
