285:"Considering that Knowledge has articles about hardly any of these Norwegian places, it's unclear to me why we would need a list of what they are called in Finnish." is the sort of view why wikipedia has grown so unevenly. That we do not have articles on most of them does not mean they are not notable or warmly appreciated here. I think this is useful for not only identifying the features but for those which have Finnish names.♦
201:, this article is essentially a list of translations from Norwegian to Finnish. Whilst it might be suitable for Norwegian and/or Finnish Knowledge, it is unnecessary in English Knowledge. If anyone needs to know the Finnish name for a Norwegian place, then the interwiki links on the place's article would help.
304:, a dialog of Finnish, is one of the official minority languages of Norway. This is not a random pairing of languages: I would not support a similar list of French exonyms for paces in Norway. Nor is it a random list of Norwegian places--it's those that have such names because they are Kven-speaking areas.

speaking countries than Norway, our need is to increase the coverage of Norway to the extent we can. I do not consider it one of our greatest needs, but our priorities are inevitably set by what people here want to do. Whatever part of the appropriate content they want to work on, they should be supported

However, I would merge the three articles: I would suggest we expand the content here to includes the villages and significant geographic features in the other two other articles, in each case indicating on the main list the relevant region & the geographical coordinates for each item. That we

We do agree on all, the geographical tabled lists are notable in their own right and productive but the focus on
Finnish exonyms rather than on list of landmarks is perhaps less notable. This is different as its a list of Norwegian place names with Finnish names which in my opinion is useful, as was

do not have articles on these places is a weakness, for we do have coverage of every town and village in other countries. As DrB says, this can serve as a checklist for making them. The nom and first commentator make a basic error: this is the
English WP, but that means only that it is the WP
299:
I agree with Dr. B. (I mention that he suggested I look at this AfD, but as you will see, I do not agree with him on the two related articles) This is actually a list of articles or potential articles. WP is a work in progress. I would possibly retitle the article as Kven exonyms, because
544:, there are a lot of those who uses the English Knowledge instead of their local version, so I don't agree with your reasoning. We are also not to decide whether this article/list is suitable for the Norwegian version of Knowledge, only if it should stay in English Knowledge.
354:
I agree with your logic DGG, that if Kven is an official language of Norway, we should keep this, but do you have any reliable sources backing up that Kven is one of the official languages in Norway? Last time I checked, we had three official written languages
384:
Also, same reference, "there is no agreement among the Kvens as to whether this language should be referred to as "Kven" or "Finnish". The
Norwegian government's policies are not supposed to discriminate against people speaking Kven. Not sure how this helps!

Finnish Knowledge wants this list, they can have it transwikied over to there -- but they would probably want to edit the list to remove a number of the names on this list which are repeated due to insufficient maintenance of the list.

Norwegians (the primary audience for this article, I guess) read English Knowledge too, but they can also use Norwegian Knowledge which seems a more appropriate location to me.

These are the names some indigenous
Norwegians use for places in their own country. I expect our woeful notability guidelines do not cover this matter but the topic seems entirely encyclopedic to me.
