- Unsure - on the one hand, I don't like the title or the unencyclopedic tone WP:NOTESSAY of the writing. On the other hand, this does appear to be a Thing. It might be a challenge to find notable sources, but it does depend if we collectively think it is worth doing here or better to WP:TNT and get whoever recreates it to ensure there is proper sourcing. I'm doubting it is really possible for anyone outside of the Maldives to offer sources that meet the WP:GNG. JMWt (talk) 10:32, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. As you say, it does seem to be a Thing, and thus notable. As a comment, it used to be very common in the UK for house names to be the only addresses on envelopes. For example, my grandmother's address used to be just Catalone, Newton Abbot, South Devon. However, for obvious reasons the Post Office tried to eradicate this approach to addresses, and it has largely disappeared, except for people who live in castles or palaces. I expect the same practice existed in other countries, and probably still does in some. Athel cb (talk) 14:40, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- None of that is relevant. The requirement of the GNG is coverage in reliable sources. Even if houses were named in England, that doesn't mean that a list of house names in England would be notable. Even if it was, that doesn't mean house names in another country are also notable. JMWt (talk) 16:34, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
