Completely unsourced, little more than a badly maintained list of translations Jac16888 ^Talk 09:12, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Leaning Delete per nom and WP:NAD. However I was able to find this source [1] which may mean it meets WP:LISTN. I am interested in what other more experienced participants here think regarding this source. // Timothy :: talk 12:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Of the few blue links in this list, most link to completely unrelated articles; the few that are remotely relevant link to places. I'm not sure what kind of "name" this list is even intended to include, as it is the list seems completely arbitrary as to what is included. There is no "Zambian language", it is instead highly ethnically and linguistically diverse, so that may further speak to whether such a list even makes sense together. If this was meant to target surnames, we have a well developed category structure of Category:Surnames by culture and Category:Surnames by language; "by country" was deleted years ago. postdlf (talk) 15:17, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete most of these lack articles. There is nothing showing these meet any reasonable notability requirements.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete One of 33 least developed countries in Africa. There are over 70 ethnic groups and at least 73 languages in Zambia, mostly in the Bantu family, so the country is too culturally diverse to lump them all into one article. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
