Atana (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Recently created, unnecessary dab page. Has only a single legitimate entry (Atana, a form of classical Indian music). Second entry is only a spurious misspelling of an obscure dialectal alternate of the name of the goddess Athena, never used in English, therefore not in need of a dab entry. (If anything, the dialectal Doric form was "Athana", not "Atana"). Note that this dab page was originally even created at the main title "Atana", with the Indian music entry being moved to Atana (music); this, at least, has been rectified in the meantime.)

 * Comment There seems to be a village called Atana in Aksy_District, Kyrgystan, and also it seems to be an Armenian version of the name of Adana, Turkey. Siuenti (talk) 19:44, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yeah, but neither of these are likely to have articles any time soon, are they? The Armenian name isn't even the standard form of the name in Armenian, and we don't routinely do dab entries for random foreign name forms anyway. Like, Rom doesn't have an entry saying "'Rom' is the German version of the name of Rome' or anything of that sort. If the Kyrgysian place ever gets an article, we could of course talk again. But we don't even have a reliable source saying as much as that it exists – it's not confirmed by the source on which the list in Aksy District ostensibly is based.

 * (P.S. I note that Boleyn has found yet another potential entry, a king of some historic kingdom in Thailand. Trouble is just, that one appears just as unsourced as the village in Kyrgistan. No reference to it independent of Wikipedia anywhere that i can find. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:43, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Thanks, User:Siuenti. It wasn't a valid page, but it needed a bit of work rather than deletion. 4 valid entries and valid see also. Boleyn (talk) 20:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment It's not relevant if they have sources or articles - several meet MOS:DABMENTION. Boleyn (talk) 20:50, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
