In geonames I noticed that touristic regions are labeled as administrative divisions for the country of Turkey.

These are Dutch names for popular holiday regions, for instance:

- Zuid-Egeïsche Kust
- Egeïsche Kust
- Turkse Riviera

This does not seem right? Should they be removed? These are not official names for this specific country.

you are right these entries don't make sense. I have deleted them and a lot more. I even wonder whether all records added by this user should be deleted as it is difficult to figure out what makes sense and what does not.
