Proposed merge of Alternate forms for the name John into John (given name)#In other languages
[edit]List is not long enough to need to be standalone, nor well sourced enough to justify it as is. If not a merger, then a page move should probably happen as "alternate forms" doesn't really explain the scope the way titling it "John in other languages" (or something to that effect) would.

- Support per nom. Many of the forms listed there are already listed at John (given name), and I'm not sure that it meets WP:NLIST. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

German use of John
[edit]I am not a German speaker, but I wonder if the 'English' spelling "John" should be included as one of the German forms of the name. This is because I have just read the article about John Rabe, the German diplomat who helped set up the Nanjing Safety Zone in 1937. Bigchip (talk) 08:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
