Talk:Tenzing (name)

Name SIA
The accompanying page should probably be renamed to recognize it as a name SIA rather than an Dab. The distinctions most likely to be considered relevant to this case are these: --Jerzy•t 00:39, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) People should not be listed on Dabs unless they are often referred to and recognized by that name standing alone. (TN may have thot of it as a family/sur- name, but Tenzing is used much more like a middle name by Jamling, and TT apparently uses it bcz his maternal grandfather did, rather than acquiring it according to cultural norms about family names.)
 * 2) There is sufficient curiosity abt it as a name (why do so many Sherpa climbers carry it?) that some readers will seek essentially statistical info about relatives of TN bearing it, as a group, including those who have no further notability as individuals, while a Dab (a navigation device, not a list for its own sake) should normally list only topics that will be sought by people looking for meaningful article content, as opposed to just the topics' names.
