Talk:Ts'e-le

RFV discussion: December 2020–January 2021
I found this word in four maps, but the question is- is that good enough for WT:ATTEST? I can't find it anywhere else. I'm sure it's out there, but my searching skills are limited. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The maps are not independent, because they are all created by the same agency. As a result, I count them as one valid cite. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Additionally, the topographical names added between parentheses on these maps are evidently meant to represent the local names (in Wade-Giles romanization dumbed down by removing diacritics and tones), so they do IMO not attest to use of these names in English. --Lambiam 18:05, 13 December 2020 (UTC)


 * (1) I have read and understood Metaknowledge's post. If there's only one cite, I guess this particular page should be put into a draft stage? I don't know what to do exactly. I will look for more citations for this word, but it's a tough one. I think I found something on JSTOR- Google gave me "the Russian consul at Ts'e-le, who lured local Moslems into becoming" somwhere in SINKIANG UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR YANG TSENG-HSIN, 1911-1928RICHARD YANGCentral Asiatic JournalVol. 6, No. 4 (December 1961), pp. 270-316 (47 pages)
 * (2) Responding to Lambiam, this is not a topographical name. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I might not count appearances on maps as qualifying uses at all, only mentions, but I wouldn't call for RFV of a name appearing on multiple independent maps unless I had a reason to doubt them. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 17:24, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

RFV-failed. Although I count the maps as a valid citation, that is only one. Kiwima (talk) 22:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
