Removed material edit
The accompanying main-namespace page was a Rdr for its first 3 months, and since has claimed to be a Dab. It cannot comply with WP:MoSDab, and keep much of the perhaps valid information that has been crammed into it, reaching its apparent highwater mark in September. Others have removed some of that content, without noting whether they found places to use it in articles. I removed more of it, including the whole entry
- * Ilumberri, a.k.a. Lumbier or Irunberri
which defies WP:DabRL.
The WP facility for presenting established knowledge about encyclopedia-worthy topics is the article. Dabs exist solely to facilitate a user in navigating to an article (or articles), in this case on an ancient Iberian-peninsula city, which article they in this case thot they might find under the title "Illiberis". That navigational function is obstructed by including in the Dab any info that doesn't directly contribute to navigation, even when that info is desirable to present in an article. Its removal from the accompanying page does not reflect rejection of its possible use in articles.
I, at least, have not used, elsewhere in WP, any of the material i (or others) removed, so i urge that someone (better qualified than i to write on relevant topics) use the Dab's edit history to examine the others' and my removals, to determine where and how that information might (tho not furthering the purpose of getting users to articles) be valuable in articles.
