There are a bunch of full names of US states, like ولاية نيو جيرزي, which links to State of New Jersey. I'm pretty sure we don't want these Arabic entries for the same reason that the English is a redlink. The full list can be found here. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:17, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

• Delete any for which the simple name already exists, but ولاية نيو جيرزي itself, for example, should be moved to نيو جيرزي and the English gloss adapted accordingly. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 12:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
• Move and delete. By the way, @Metaknowledge, is there a similar tool for "All pages with suffix"? It would come in handy for drawing up a list of мова combinations (беларуская мова, англійская мова, грэцкая мова, etc.) I intend to RFD. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 16:06, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

  @Per utramque cavernam: See http://tools.wmflabs.org/dixtosa/ (e.g. https://tools.wmflabs.org/dixtosa/index.php?suffix=%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0&category=Belarusian_lemmas) to search within a category for terms ending with a specific string. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 16:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

• Move and delete. BTW, the transliteration for many states will be fixed by the move. ة in the middle between always require manual intervention. I have moved نْيُو جَرْزِي (nyū jarzī). --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 09:16, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Delete/move, if this has not been done already. - -sche (discuss) 08:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
