[edit] Noor

WP:WINAD. "Arabic [word] meaning light." Delete all foreign language dicdefs. Dmcdevit 5 July 2005 03:13 (UTC)

• Delete foreign dicdef. JamesBurns 5 July 2005 03:52 (UTC)
• Merge. Salvage the comment about the cognates in Arabic and Hebrew and incorporate into the "Common vocabulary" section of Semitic languages.--Defrosted 5 July 2005 06:37 (UTC)
• Delete "Wikipedia is not a dictionary"... and especially not a foreign language dictionary. -- BMIComp (talk) 5 July 2005 07:09 (UTC)
• Delete dic def. - Mgm|^(talk) July 5, 2005 08:14 (UTC)
• Redirect to Noor of Jordan, since out of the a bunch of articles for people whose names contain Noor (Noor Jehan, Noor Hassanali, etc.), she seems to be the one who the word's most pivotal in the name. If need be, we can put together a disambig for all people named Noor, though I have doubts as to that ever being needed. The Literate Engineer 5 July 2005 13:38 (UTC)
  • Keep as a disambig as per [[user:BD2412/deletion debates|BD2412], no redirect to any particular Noor. Yes, a change of vote. The Literate Engineer 5 July 2005 22:22 (UTC)
• Redirect per above, delete current content.--Scimitar 5 July 2005 14:35 (UTC)
• Redirect to "Noor of Jordan". Dusik 5 July 2005 18:18 (UTC)
• KEEP and turn into disambig, turn this into a disambiguation page for people known as Noor. 132.205.45.110 5 July 2005 18:44 (UTC)
• Keep as a disambig - 864,000 Google hits includes place names [1], [2], likelihood of future disambig growth. -- BD2412 ^talk July 5, 2005 21:44 (UTC)
• Redirect to Noor of Jordan, which already mentions what it means (They do speak Arabic in Jordan). I don't think a disambig page is necessary for the other Noors (as it's not their main name), unless someone actually wants to make a page on a place called that right now, but I'm not happy about the idea of proactive disambig pages (to reiterate, I think there would be only one entry that should legitimately go on there). --IByte 6 July 2005 00:04 (UTC)
• Keep as a disambig per BD2412. Xoloz 6 July 2005 03:51 (UTC)
• {{disambig}} per [[User:BD2412/deletion debates|BD2412], keeping explanation of the name's meaning. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) July 6, 2005 08:22 (UTC)
• If memory serves, a noor was also a race of aliens in SF novels series by David Brin, if that helps disambiguate anything. From above, i assume the arabic meaning is where he got it.Sandpiper 02:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
