Comment: << review queue entry 60822 - submitted by 'danielt998' >>
If you think I've surpassed the threshold for noteworthiness/am creating too much work for the reviewers, please tell me, as I plan to produce similar submissions for other locations. Please also let me know if you have any suggestions for how I could improve any future submissions. I took these from the following Wikipedia list: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/冰岛城市列表 and did web searches to try to verify reliability, in particular with the conversions between simplified/traditional.

Editor: thanks for your submission. However, as per consensus among editors entries like this are of marginal usage and take up too much time that could be spent on more useful entries. To quote another editor: "Minor city names (e.g. his Icelandic submissions) are not very useful, I feel: in a text, they'll almost always come with the native name in parentheses, so nobody will want to look that name up. At the very worst (if no parentheses are in the text), a quick Google and the underwhelming answer is found."

Another one said:
"Also, we should focus our efforts on words that present a linguistic challenge. I don't think we don't want to spend our limited time checking boring stuff like the names of thousands of towns, especially since we know that hardly anyone will ever look up most of these words.

And we do need to check. The second line of Daniel's Iceland submission says
哈夫納菲厄澤 哈夫纳菲厄泽 [Ha1 fu1 na4 fei1 e4 ze2] /Hafnarfjörður, a city on the Southwest coast of Iceland/

Google Verbatim results suggest that the headword is wrong:
"哈夫納菲厄澤" 3 results
"哈夫纳菲厄泽" 9 results

Meanwhile, the Wikipedia article says the Chinese name of Hafnarfjörður is actually 哈夫納夫約杜爾.
And Google Verbatim says that spelling has some currency:
"哈夫納夫約杜爾" About 3,720 results
"哈夫纳夫约杜尔" About 40,400 results"
