Talk:Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin

Name
I have fixed the Cut-n-Paste move from Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin to Vladimir Rokhlin (Soviet mathematician). Now lets discuss the best way to name the article. As I understand the problem is to disambig between Vladimir Abramovich and his son Vladimir Vladimirovich. I think the patronimics are better way to handle it, alternatively we could use Snr/Jnr qualifiers to the name. Alex Bakharev 02:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think Snr. and Jnr. are much better. Objections? Sasha (talk) 03:13, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I could not find any Google hits on "Rokhlin Sr" or "Rokhlin Snr", while "Rokhlin Jr." is indeed in use. I suggest to name the articles Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin (WP:NCP recommends to use Patronimics for disambiguation of Russians) and Vladimir Rokhlin, Jr. (he is an American and Jr is widely used for American names) Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * that is reasonable too. Let's do that (assuming there will be no objections from other people in the following few days). Sasha (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi All, I support the latest proposal, but I suggest to use the formal way to request an article move, see Requested moves, so other editors can join the discussion too. In this case use the Requesting multiple page move template to combine the two moves. Sasha, I suggest you initiate this as primary requestor? -- SchreyP (messages) 19:51, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

The result of the move request was: moved as proposed. Favonian (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

– suggested names a) look more adequate (e.g. I am not sure Rokhlin Snr. considered himself a "Soviet mathematician"), b) conform to the disambig. standard. Sasha (talk) 21:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Vladimir Rokhlin (Soviet mathematician) → Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin
 * Vladimir Rokhlin (American scientist) → Vladimir Rokhlin, Jr.


 * Support: As discussed in more detail in previous section. But I did not find any hits on "Vladimir Rokhlin, Jr." via google. I'm not sure if in that case the Vladimir Rokhlin (American scientist) article move will be accepted? -- SchreyP (messages) 21:42, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think "Vladimir Rokhlin (American scientist)" has many google hits mainly because there is a wikipedia article under that name :) Sasha (talk) 23:44, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * At least search on Rokhlin, Jr. gives two non-trivial results Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Support per arguments above Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
