[edit] Habib

Delete as nonencycopedic. An article about a personal name. Only link to it is from Music of Bangladesh, wherer it refers to a specific sound engineer by this name, not the name per se. If the sound engineer is notable enough for an encyclopedia entry (which I doubt), then that could be written here. Otherwise delete this article. --Angr 07:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, geneology, vanity. Megan1967 08:02, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Habib is a common surname. Also there are plenty of other articles about personal names: Robert, William, Joseph, Anthony, &c. RJH 18:11, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - check out the "Wikipedia Is Not" page, and you'll clearly see a "no geneology" entry. And if you look closely, you'll notice most of the pages you give above are disambig pages anyway. It's certainly not a linguistics article, which the stub seems to suggest. Nick04 19:46, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. What Nick04 said. RickK 23:23, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. Rossami (talk) 00:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't think Wiktionary is interested in the derivations of names. RickK 05:17, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually, it is: Wiktionary Appendix:First names. And it is certain that it is more interested in proper nouns with their etymologies than without them. The first paragraph of this article would make a fair stub for a proper noun entry to be listed in the appendix. Wiktionary. Uncle G 21:08, 2005 Mar 4 (UTC)
  • Wasn't that guy who did the Hatt Baby song named Habib too? Man that was a great song. Oh well, delete this though, bascially geneology/foreign dicdef. And why do we not have an article on Hatt Baby? -R. fiend 06:48, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
