Dorota

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is an extension from my nomination Articles for deletion/Abhay, this time culling the fluff from Category:Czech given names, Category:German given names and Category:Irish given names. Again, I will withdraw the nomination if the article can be made into a valid redirect or disambiguation, or even article. J Milburn 17:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating-
 * Jiří
 * Éanna
 * Gerok


 * Delete Dorota, Jiří and Gerok which are nothing more than name dic defs - Keep Éanna which is a valid disambig. Nuttah68 16:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is not a valid disambiguation page, it only links to one article. It actually meets the speedy deletion criteria, I just brought it here to give it a chance. J Milburn 16:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It may be only one blue link, but the three kings of Ireland with the name make the name notable even if articles have not been written yet. Nuttah68 16:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I am not denying that the people the article links to are notable, I am just saying that, until we have articles on them, there is no need for a disambiguation page. That is the Wikipedia poliy. J Milburn 16:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll accept delete on Éanna if none of the information (the King's names and reign dates) is lost. Of course that will mean creating an article and we then need a disambig. The page is more than a basic disambig and does contain information, minimal I'll accept but because it is royalty it is notable. Nuttah68 16:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong keep I think this is a part of wikipedia, information about names and its origin. If you see in the name just a translation of its english equivalent that's seriously wrong point of view. Every name has its origin and meaning which can be a part of encyclopedia.  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 20:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: With all due respect, what you 'think is a part of Wikipedia' is irrelevent. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, as is stated at this policy. There is no reason to keep these articles, and the consensus on the last debate should stand. J Milburn 22:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: why are you so disrespectful to the other opinions ? This is a correct dispution and I provided my opinion. I think you did not understand what I said. It is not a case George = Jiří, it is a case that Jiří has some kind of origin and was used since XY century etc. etc. Or don't you see that difference ?  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 22:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: So you are saying that we should have articles on words, describing their history? That is not an encyclopedia, that is a dictionary. In what way was I disrespectful of your opinion? I did my best to stick to policy, and, as I interpretted it, policy disagreed with what you were saying. Do I have to agree with you to be respectful? J Milburn 22:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: words and names are little bit different, aren't they ? It is a part of knowledge. No, you were disrespectful saying that what I think is irrelevant in the AfD dispution. I am telling you that you miss the point of that policy.  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 22:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless converted into a sourced article, a redirect or functional disambiguation page. Addhoc 14:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Dorota for sure. Practically unused among Czechs as the first name for decades, sometimes employed coloquially in Czech language as offense (dorota == dumb and/or quareling woman). Jiří (diminutives Jirka, Jiřík, Jiříček) is a very frequent Czech first name but I somehow fail to see much of value in the article so delete this too. A couple of relevant studies about evolution of Czech first names was published by Miloslava Knappová (in Czech language). Pavel Vozenilek 02:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Especially Éanna which contains zero useful information. All High-Kings of Ireland, be they ever so imaginary like these ones, are listed at List of High Kings of Ireland. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
