editTo Crusio attention:
According to a dictionary, "notable" can refer to one of two general concepts:
"Notable" can mean "worthy of note". A "note" is a written record, so notable means "worthy of written records".
"Notable can refer to the concept of being important, significant, famous, unique, etc.
Of these two definitions, only the first is in line with Wikipedia policy and practice.
Dear Sergey, thank you for the dictionary definitions of "notability". Unfortunately, notability has its own, special meaning onWikipedia. I suggest you read the policy article on notability. I see that you have added some references to the article, but they still don't seem to establish notability of Pirani Ameena Begum, only (perhaps) of her husband and daughter. By the way, this discussion should better be placed at the AfD page and I will copy your comments and my reply there. --Crusio (talk) 10:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- To Crusio I added references to her personal publications: Women's Seclusion in the East, by Amina Begum Inayat Khan. "The Sufi" magazine No. 3 Vol. I, Sept. 1915 and Poems from Thy Rosary of a Hundred Beads, a collection of poems written by 'Sharda, Pirani Ameena Begum Ora-Ray Inayat Khan'. "Caravanseari" magazine (Canada) November 1988 pp.. 31-34 I know about other her publications during 1930-1960 but now I don't have precise data. --Sergey Moskalev —Preceding comment was added at 09:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
article title
editAccording to Wikipedia convention, titles (such as "Dr", "Prof", "His Holyness", Queen, etc) are not included in article titles (see for example Elisabeth II). According to the article, "Pirani" is a title that Inayat Khan bestowed upon his loving spouse Ameena Begum. It would therefore appear that the correct title of this article would be "Ameena Begum". --Crusio (talk) 12:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
