radin isn’t only a surname
[edit]it’s also a first name,could anyone explain why the first name part was deleted off the page? Radinlqoqowjw (talk) 22:24, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- This page is about surname. Other meanings are moved to Radin (disambiguation). --Altenmann >talk 22:36, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- i don’t see the persian meaning in it,do i remove the one that’s here and add it in the disambiguation or keep it in here Radinlqoqowjw (talk) 22:52, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Radinlqoqowjw: Persian is not surname , so must go into disambiguation. However your reference is invalid: in WIkipedia, wikis are not allowed as referennces. --Altenmann >talk 22:54, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- well this page isn’t only specified for surnames or at least it doesn’t write next to it so why shouldn’t the given name be featured in here? Radinlqoqowjw (talk) 22:57, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- Yes it is only for surnames, see the top and the bottom of the page. This is how it is done in Wikipedia. --Altenmann >talk 22:59, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- well that’s because you edited to only have the surname,normally it was both given and surname Radinlqoqowjw (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- In Wikipedia an article describes a single subject. In this case it is surname. Disambiguation pages list articles for things that can have the same name, but they have to be in different pages, see our guideline WP:DAB. Also see Bug (disambiguation) for a better understanding --Altenmann >talk 23:07, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- hm well i understand now but shouldn’t there be like radin (surname) radin (given name) like these examples in the guidelines:”
- Naming articles in such a way that each has a unique title. For example, three of the articles dealing with topics ordinarily called "Mercury" are titled Mercury (planet), Mercury (element), and Mercury (mythology). “

- Correct, but at the moment you do not have enough reliable sources (see WP:RS) to have an article about name. Theoretically I can move all persons with given name Radin into page Radin (given name), but now it will serve no additional purpose. --Altenmann >talk 23:34, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
- alright understood Radinlqoqowjw (talk) 23:38, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
