This template (Template:Names in world cultures) was considered for deletion on 2007 January 14. The result of the discussion was "keep". |
I just want to check to be sure we don't have an article on naming traditions in the English-speaking world. English name is currently a redirect to something obviously inappropriate. I don't have the time right now to redress this problem...but it's obviously a problem. Wikipedia, after all, is an encyclopedia and not a travel guide. At least we can say that this is one area where anglocentrism isn't distorting our coverage :D 65.190.95.73 (talk) 22:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
The title of this template as it appears on the template seems a little odd to me. First, it does not specify what names it is talking about, i.e. personal names. Second, exactly what is a "world culture"? Does it mean cultures with a worldwide diaspora or influence? if so, I could understand some of the entries as qualifying (e.g., Arabic names, Spanish names) but are the Fijian, Galician, or Tatar cultures really that pervasive worldwide? Or does "world culture" mean of this world and not an extraterrestrial culture. If this is the case, it is, at least currently, highly redundant.
Perhaps another title like "Personal names in various cultures" might more clearly reflect what the constituent articles deal with. — AjaxSmack 03:05, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
I am surprised there is no entry for Danish. This ISBN 9789519825694 ISBN 9789519825687 may help. – Kaihsu (talk) 17:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
