Name

[edit]

I have fixed the Cut-n-Paste move from Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin to Vladimir Rokhlin (Soviet mathematician). Now lets discuss the best way to name the article. As I understand the problem is to disambig between Vladimir Abramovich and his son Vladimir Vladimirovich. I think the patronimics are better way to handle it, alternatively we could use Snr/Jnr qualifiers to the name. Alex Bakharev 02:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think Snr. and Jnr. are much better. Objections? Sasha (talk) 03:13, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I could not find any Google hits on "Rokhlin Sr" or "Rokhlin Snr", while "Rokhlin Jr." is indeed in use. I suggest to name the articles Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin (WP:NCP recommends to use Patronimics for disambiguation of Russians) and Vladimir Rokhlin, Jr. (he is an American and Jr is widely used for American names) Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
that is reasonable too. Let's do that (assuming there will be no objections from other people in the following few days). Sasha (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi All, I support the latest proposal, but I suggest to use the formal way to request an article move, see Wikipedia:Requested moves, so other editors can join the discussion too. In this case use the Requesting multiple page move template to combine the two moves. Sasha, I suggest you initiate this as primary requestor? -- SchreyP (messages) 19:51, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved as proposed. Favonian (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


– suggested names a) look more adequate (e.g. I am not sure Rokhlin Snr. considered himself a "Soviet mathematician"), b) conform to the disambig. standard. Sasha (talk) 21:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think "Vladimir Rokhlin (American scientist)" has many google hits mainly because there is a wikipedia article under that name :) Sasha (talk) 23:44, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
At least search on Rokhlin, Jr. [1] gives two non-trivial results Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
