Motivation

Ghana Place Names (Q109657673) is a research project to find the meanings and origins of as many place names in Ghana as possible. The website includes information on about 3400 places, and new places will continue to be added. The site also includes pages on languages of Ghana, peoples of Ghana, bridges, castles, water bodies, lighthouses, and other entities. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 09:19, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose not notable site, if you do want to link it use described at URL (P973) Germartin1 (talk) 23:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
• Why do you say this is not a notable site? Because it is not under the auspices of an organization? This is a serious, scholarly site with extensive and useful geographic information and sources documented. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 23:17, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

  The fact that it's hosted on google-sites and has visitor count of 7. Germartin1 (talk) 14:14, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Library catalogers refer to Ghana Place Names when doing MARC cataloging for relevant cartographic resources, which I think makes this site notable. It has been allocated a MARC21 Cartographic Data Source Code. --Crystal Clements, University of Washington Libraries (talk) 18:39, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
• Switch to external identifier?? 2A01:CB14:D52:1200:44C6:F07B:3E17:F78 22:48, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

  Yes I think that makes more sense. Germartin1 (talk) 14:13, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

  Besides, they are multiple sites present in the examples Germartin1 (talk) 19:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how an external ID would make more sense. It would be very complicated. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
