Talk:Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name change

Since the premature death of the prophet Isiaiah (Yeshayahu), no one gives the full name to their children, but abbreviates it as "Yeshayah." I made all the changes in the document, and would like to know how to change the title of the article. Yoninah 09:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Use "move page", or if you don't manage ask me again here to do it. Do you have any source that the Chazon Ish was called Yeshaya or Yeshayahu. It is not enough to say the he should be called Yeshaya. All people I know that are named after him are called Yeshaya, so you're probably right. JFW | T@lk 13:43, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

The most common name used on Google is "Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz". Common English usage is the Wikipedia standard, regardless of what he should have been called. Jayjg ^(talk) 14:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

SHouldn't it be Avrohom Yeshyah Karelitz? --Shaul avrom 02:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
