I think this may be an indiscriminate collection of loosely related places. Some of these are simply named "end of the world" or a foreign-language equivalent.

- Delete as a combination of an indiscriminate list and OR (a number of the entries here seem to be in the list because "people feel it must be the end of the world, since it's ignored so much", rather than for any reason borne out by sources). BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:55, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. At first I thought it sounded plausible but then I realised that a lot of the entries are not solid and that World's End and Land's End (disambiguation) (which link to eachother) are the correct place for the valid entries here. There might be a valid article in the general phenomenon of choosing such place names, which clearly spans many languages and locations, but this isn't it. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:43, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:NOR and WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Ajf773 (talk) 02:03, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, per all the above. Anyone ever been to Bootle? I went there once and it was hard to tell if the end of the world had happened or not. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:20, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. I reached the same conclusion as DanielRigal. While there is no objection to a serious discussion of land's end or end of the world (as notable concepts), the current list has no added value beyond End of the world and Land's End (disambiguation). gidonb (talk) 10:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
