Talk:Adonis (poet)/Archive 1

Unclear sentence
"The name Adonis was given to Said [{Artun Saada]], the leader of the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party." (1) Should this be "The name Adonis was given to Said by [Artun Saada, the leader of the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party"? And is the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party distinct from the Syrian National Party mentioned in the next sentence? -- Jmabel | Talk 04:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC) Thanks for catching that. I will research it further and fix it. Thank you Joaquin Murietta 05:11, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

According the the wikipedia article, the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party is redirected to the Syrian National Party and the dude's name is Antun not Artun. Thank you again, I will fix the sentence. Joaquin Murietta 05:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Syrian National Party
The description here of Syrian National Party as "quasi-fascist" is probably controversial. I personally think it is correct, but it has been removed from that article for lack of good citation. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:59, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Thanks. Joaquin Murietta 05:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

"Seemingly prophetic"
In what sense is "The Funeral of New York" "seemingly prophetic"? Since that can hardly be an objective description, whose is it? - Jmabel | Talk 06:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I added that when I changed the writing date of "Funeral" from "after 9/11" to "early 70's". According to the professor under which I was briefly introduced to Adonis, the "prophetic" moniker has been a common depiction of the poem since 9/11. But as I don't have the time or will to go about sourcing it, feel free to remove it. mdw-noWikiAcct —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.40.128.103 (talk • contribs) 25 June 2006.

Nobel
What is the basis for the weasel-worded "Said was considered to be a candidate for both the 2005 and 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature…"? Considered by whom? - Jmabel | Talk 01:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * There was certainly a lot of media speculation about it last year. I don't recall hearing the same this year, though i have been less in touch with the Arab media over the last while. Palmiro | Talk 22:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ladbrokes, the British bookies, have consistently given good odds to Adonis winning the Nobel. Source: http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/chapter-and-verse/2008/1008/odds-favor-amos-oz-for-nobel-prize-in-literature. Whether or not this means the Nobel Committee actually considered him is, of course, another story. It would be fair to say that Adonis has been mentioned as a potential Nobel prize winner.

Nobel 2011
Something about the paragraph in question strikes me as wrong, but I can't quite put the finger on it. Bazuz (talk) 11:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Name proposal
The name of the article should become Adonis (poet).--Zyzzzzzy (talk) 10:54, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Change article title to Adonis
Every serious reference to the poet Adonis, before the Nobel prize, refers to him as Adonis. It is reasonable to follow suit in Wikipedia.Politis (talk) 14:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
