Talk:Adonis (poet)

=Adonis or Adunis= This has been discussed over the years, yet no response or addressing the issue. This does need a follow up. Here I have collected all the comments throughout the years in one all encompassing section keeping the original subtitles as well. The edit by the way to Adunis was done by an anonymous editor 71.196.20.1 who made Adonis (poet) a redirect. His or her last edit in Wikipedia was in 2015 as a non-confirmed editor. And then he disappeared. But his erratic work regarding this titling has survived all these years. I yet have to find a single person who defended Adunis instraed of Adonis (poet). The amount of support for Adonis (poet) is overwhelming to 100%. And contrary to general belief, this is not similar to Mohamed / Muhammad issue. In that case it is the dammeh in "mu" whereas in Adonis' case it is not a dammeh but with a "Waw" which is read as "o" in Arabic. See even the pronunciation guide we use in the page itself [ʔadoːˈniːs]) which is a "o" and not a "u". werldwayd (talk) 00:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 00:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Transliteration
Alt spelling: I'm not expert on transliterating Arabic, but shouldn't we also mention the common transliteration  'Ali Ahmad Sa'id ? -- Jmabel | Talk 20:04, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

That's OK with me, I am not an expert on Arabic transliteration, so I will defer to you! Joaquin Murietta 05:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

name
This poet is far, far better known by his pen-name Adonis, yet we have to wade through quite a bit of Arabic and other stuff to get to that. At this late hour, I have no particular bright idea as to how to fix this. Perhaps before I come back in a couple of days and in all likelihood do something stupid, somebody else might like to have a go? Palmiro | Talk 20:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Name spelling: Adunis vs Adonis
Wikipedia seems to be about the only place in the world where this poet's pen name is spelled Adunis instead of Adonis. I understand that there is a common rule now of transliterating Arabic (classic) U-vowel always as U instead of, as it was done until a few years ago, as O (older version: Mohammed, now always: Muhammad. But this general transcription rule should not go against normal use. And as far as I can see, the poet Adonis is referred to always as Adonis, and hardly ever as Adunis, in any media written in Latin script, be it French, English, Spanish... If there is not a good reason for keeping the U-spelling (for example a clear consensus that in the last years English media & editors prefer Adunis), I would advocate to move the page to Adonis (poet).

 * Adunis is almost never ever used in media that persistently calls him Adonis. We should go back to the title Adonis (poet) and make Adunis a redirectwerldwayd (talk) 10:41, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

The name -- yet again
It has been repeatedly suggested here that the article title should be Adonis with an O, which is how the author is pretty universally known in the English-speaking world. I don't see anyone on these pages arguing in favor of Adunis with a U.

The greatest absurdity is that the article itself refers to the poet as Adonis-with-an-O almost exclusively. He's Adonis throughout the text, he's Adonis in the sidebar, he's Adonis in the Wikimedia Commons box... It's nonsensical to use one spelling as the article title and another in the article itself. Can't someone be bold and retitle this? Greenpig (talk) 18:38, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * This has been proposed many times but no implementation. There is no media outlets calling him Adunis. We need change to Adonis (poet) werldwayd (talk) 10:44, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
