Romanization of ESŢFĀN AL-DWAYHĪ - request by family

[edit]

Romanization of Arabic names is a tough subject. Most references to our great Patriarch would ignore the Al or El to the benefit of the contracted form without Al Atta'rif. The association for the Beatification of our Patriarch has also adopted the contracted form. Anyhow, if a wikipedia user type Estephan El Douaihy in the search box, he will find the page as a first choice. We may also create a Redirection page, but it is cumbersome. Personally, I prefer to put the variants in the text. Now that a page exists on Wikipedia, let's enrich it. Thanks to all.youcroft 16:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

but in the search engines on google it apears el douaihi .. it would be great if u can fix it to be El Douaihy as it is. thx (the spelling is very important, in our family we have had a big problem and debate lately and as u notice douaihy.net and douaihy.org the right spelling is El Douaihy. by putting the wrong spelling ur encouraging few to use doueihy or whatever. thanks for understanding—Preceding unsigned comment added by Douaihy (talkcontribs) 21:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. This is an encyclopedia article, not a family blog.
  2. I don't see any problem with using "al-Duwayhi" since the spelling you claim is that of the Italian transliteration which is mentioned in the lead. But creating a hybrid transliteration is nonsensical and unscientific.
  3. There are more results for "al-Duwayhi" on Google Books.

Requested move 10 September 2017

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move to Istifan al-Duwayhi. While the picture is far from clear, it's apparent that neither the current title nor the one originally proposed are in use, while this suggestive alternative is at least in use, if not the most common.

The correct spelling of the subject of the article is Estephan El Douaihy and not Istifan al-Duwayhi. You should reverse the move. All media is using the correct spelling "Estephan El Douaihy". Lina Du Liban (talk) 03:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
