Archaic
[edit]@Paradoctor:, after an archaic name of Belarus
seems to suggest that Belarus had an archaic name, whereas Belarusian Americans says that it's the term White Russians that is archaic. This hasn't got anything to do with the name of Belarus. Jay (talk) 07:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- It does, actually. The denonym "White Russian" is derived from "White Russia". See Belarus § Etymology for more details. Paradoctor (talk) 11:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- I went through Belarus § Etymology and found many variations. Which is the archaic name you are referring to? Doesn't all previous names of Belarus have the literal meaning of White Rus? Jay (talk) 05:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Emigré
[edit]The dab page says the wave of migrants during the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War can be called White Russian Americans, however White émigré does not mention of anyone migrating to USA during these times. It does mention World War 2 though. Also, pinging Johnbod who had suggested the emigre entry during the RfD. Jay (talk) 05:51, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Shortened description to include the second wave. Paradoctor (talk) 09:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Look at arguably the most famous, Vladimir Nabokov. Left Russia 1919, then England, Germany etc. In US by 1941, where he remained. Not an uncommon pattern. Johnbod (talk) 13:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
