Place or placename[edit]

@Infovarius: Regarding "they are proper names, aren't they?". Thanks for the question. As I see it there is a difference between a place and a name of the place. For instance, Copenhagen (Q1748) is a place while, e.g., "København" and "Kopenhagen" is a name for the place. I think we should keep them separate: you can sit on a chair but you cannot sit on the noun "chair". I suppose place and placenames are often very closely related and I do not know what the intention with biblical place (Q12404340) was. Some of the biblical places seem to be mostly know through their name... The reason to delink toponym from this item was that some biblical places showed up un Scholia under toponym: https://scholia.toolforge.org/topic/Q7884789 — and it did not seem right. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 16:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Less than half of them has coordinates or state or location. And only 6/76 has all three statements. I suppose this item is mostly about names from Bible. --Infovarius (talk) 20:21, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
