[edit] Serket/Scorpion
We have exactly the same issue here as at Serket II. By the same token there is no justification whatsoever for renaming the predynastic king known universally to English-speaking scholarship as "Double Falcon" to "Nahe-Nahe". We simply don't know how the signs relate to this king's spoken name, and to guess like this is original research. If it was known for sure that this was how his name was said, this is how he would be known in the literature. But he isn't that I have ever seen.
The image in the infobox was inappropriate, being a statue of the goddess Serket from the tomb of the New Kingdom Pharaoh Tutankhamun, so I removed it. I furthermore renamed "Serket" to "Scorpion" throughout to conform with every independent reference I can locate on the subject. TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
