[edit] General

Do we really need, say, Roberto Carlos da Silva here? He is almost universally known as "Roberto Carlos" - that would be like putting Emma Watson at a disambiguation page for Charlotte. – ugen64 03:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Why was Silva compass removed from this list? Silva is the name known by everyone.. before I created the article I never knew it was Silva compass, as on all their equipment is named 'Silva'. It needs to be on this page. --Dom0803 19:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
