[edit] Move to Wiktionary?
I think it will be difficult to decide whether the contents of these articles belong in a dictionary or an encyclopedia. Certainly, while name etymology and international variations may, information about name popularity in various regions at various times does not seem to belong in a dictionary. Other details of onomastics, such as nicknames, how a particular name is typical of a culture at a specific time, etc, are also not relevant to a dictionary, but would fit well with Wikipedia. --jnothman talk 02:37, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- I concur. --Joy [shallot] 10:25, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- It shouldn't be the intent to move the entire category to Wiktionary; rather, people interested in transwikiing could look here (among other places) for individual articles that would belong there. Radiant_>|< 11:01, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
I think that these articles should stay on Wikipedia. Some information, like the origins of the names, are definitely encyclopedic material. --Ixfd64 06:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I agree that this should remain in Wikipedia but that appropriate content be transwikied to Wiktionary. Courtland 12:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Examine them on case by case basis, not entire category at once! Enochlau 05:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] what do the names mean
[edit] Categorize the names by sex?
There are many Wikipedias in other languages which maintain separate categories for male and female given names. How could we go about that here, when there are a few names shared by males and females, etc.? - GilliamJF 04:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remove Adam (disambiguation)
Remove Adam (disambiguation). Under it is the name Adam which goes directly to the article name adam. So take the disambiguation out. {i took it out} If you don't think its right, u can put it back but please let me know why in my page. Thanks!
