Use of come and go

Hi

These sentences are translated from my language. Could you please tell me if the use of come and go is natural?

1) The air from the ceiling fan does not come in this corner. I don't want to sit here.

2) I'll shift into my room only when the smell of the paint goes away.

3) Water is not coming. No one turned on the pump today?

4) Is the light coming in your area? (light = electricity)

5) It's been three days since the storm, but light hasn't come still. (light = electricity)

Thanks,

Tom

None of these are really natural. Here are natural ways of saying what I think you mean.

1) The air from the ceiling fan doesn't reach this corner. I don't want to sit here.

2) I'll move / go / go back into my room only when the smell of paint goes away.

3) There's no water coming out [e.g. of a tap]. Didn't anyone turn on the pump today?
