This article isn't all that fleshy and there is an actual, real life, phenomenom that's called Amn. I don't see that this 'Amn' is more important or more widely known that the others. Wouldn't it be more natural to have a disambiguation page for 'Amn'? Arndisdunja 02:19, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- If there is such a place, I think you are right, that Amn should be a disambiguity page, and this article moved to Amn (Forgotten Realms), in line with other Forgotten Realms places sharing name with real-life definitions. What phenomenon are you referring to? Iraqi State Internal Security?Poulsen 02:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yup, that's the one :) Arndisdunja 17:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I would say, that the Iraqi article could use some more documentation before taking the article name of Amn - Fore example, what is the official name of the organization? The only place it is referred to as "State Internal Security of Iraq" is on wiki, and a search on "Iraqi State Internal Security" brings up references to wiki as well. Furthermore it seems like it's referenced both as Al-Amn al-Khas (Special Security) or al-Amn al-Hizb (Baath Party Security Agency) - is Amn just the Iraqi word for security? - so a thorough research of what it's actual name is should be first priority - if it's named Al-Amn al-Khas, there's no reason to take away Amn.Poulsen 17:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, I completely agree. All I meant was that I didn't feel that this Amn had any more right to the Amn of all Amns ;) In fact, I think that that none of these three is so striking that it should have the honourable place among "Amn"s, but rather that the whole lot be dumped on a disambiguation page Arndisdunja 14:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- I would agree if 'the whole lot' consisted of more than two articles. As it is, Amn holds no 'honorary place', as there are no other clearly defined Amns (apart from the rune in Diablo II). It would be good with comments from more people, I'll make a note in the Iraqi article. Oh, and sorry about the highlighting of 'Amn', dunno why I insisted on doing that..

I came here looking for Abstract Machine Notation, so I have added a link to that. Tim 20:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Looks good :) I'll make this a disambiguation page, then.Poulsen 20:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
