Stereotype?

edit

Was the name Emily a stereotype in the late 60s/70s? There are 3 songs i know which are about some Emily:

The bear - Not A Rose For Emily, Pink Floyd - See Emily Play, Simon & Garfunkel - For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her The Designers - Emily Shalant is a tasty treat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.167.131.26 (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Greets, bergfalkeReply

Meaning

edit

It says "Emily: also meaning industrious." It is also written: "Amelia" is an unrelated germanic name meaning "work" This needs some clarification, that is, if anybody ever visits this page. --Monkeyfoetus 09:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Suffragists

edit

it might be better to put 'Female Political Activists' at the moment it says 'Suffragists' with a Suffragette listed underneath it. they are two very different things and movements, so i thought i'd just mention it. 82.43.141.45 17:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)emilyReply

Good point. I should have noticed that when I cleaned the page yesterday. Pontificake 17:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

{{Copy to Wiktionary}}

edit

Just to clarify, I thought it should be transwikied because there is content about the name Emily in this article that is not already in the Wiktionary article. My intention was to remove the alternate spellings, translations, etymology, and popularity sections after the transwiki. Pan Dan 22:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Wiktionary already had all bar 2 of the translations, and the alternative spellings largely duplicate the translations and are very probably confusions of the two. Wiktionary already covers all of the etymological ground for this proper noun and the two other ones mentioned, and more thoroughly to boot. Uncle G 17:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation

edit

I haven't yet taken the action suggested by my dialogue above with Uncle G, because what I'd really like to do is convert this page to a proper Wikipedia:Disambiguation page, which it purports to be but is not. We should remove, for example, the list of people whose first name is Emily. Any objections? Pan Dan 16:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup of March 31, 2007

edit

Thanks for removing the list of people named Emily and the non-disambiguation content about Emily from Emily. However I think that the list content should be removed entirely from article space, and as for the info about the popularity of the name Emily, a link to List of most popular given names from Emily will suffice, as discussed at Talk:Emily. So I have proposed for deletion Emily (name) and People named Emily. Just wanted to let you know. Best, Pan Dan 17:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Gee, I forgot to check Talk:Emily. I usually do it before starting to cleanup, but this time it slipped, for whatever reason. Sorry.. One of my self-guidelines on dab cleanup is not do delete unique content, but to park it on new articles and let others decide on the merit of the new standalone articles; if I knew about List of most popular given names, I would not have created Emily (name) because I could have deleted that content; however, I'm neutral on People named Emily because I don't know if any of those people are known simply as Emily (sometimes I write exactly that on list intros).
