Talk:Fathy Arafat

There appears to be a duplicate article of Fathi Arafat. I'm not sure how Dr. Arafat's name is spelled, however Google gives more hits with "Fathi Arafat" (745) compared to "Fathy Arafat" (115). If anyone can comment on the actual spelling, please do. -Ichabod 17:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

"Fathi" and "Fathy" are alternative spellings of the same name (pronounced "fat-hi"). There's no standardised transliteration system for Arabic, so you often get multiple spellings of the same name. "Fathi" is by far the more common spelling of this name, and it's the spelling that the PRCS used, so the articles should be merged under that spelling with a redirection from the other spelling. -JayZed 22:41, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

As discussed above. I couldn't see anything that needed merging. The Land 22:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
