Talk:Tenzing (name)

Name SIA

   The accompanying page should probably be renamed to recognize it as a name SIA rather than an Dab. The distinctions most likely to be considered relevant to this case are these:

1. People should not be listed on Dabs unless they are often referred to and recognized by that name standing alone. (TN may have thot of it as a family/sur- name, but Tenzing is used much more like a middle name by Jamling, and TT apparently uses it bcz his maternal grandfather did, rather than acquiring it according to cultural norms about family names.)
2. There is sufficient curiosity abt it as a name (why do so many Sherpa climbers carry it?) that some readers will seek essentially statistical info about relatives of TN bearing it, as a group, including those who have no further notability as individuals, while a Dab (a navigation device, not a list for its own sake) should normally list only topics that will be sought by people looking for meaningful article content, as opposed to just the topics' names.
