"Sarbu" looks like a ham-fisted attempt to write "Sârbu"; his name was never "Sarbu", which would be pronounced vastly different in Romanian (and in fact doesn't exist as a name). The man was born on the other side of the spelling reform, and officially registered as "Sîrbu" (exactly the same sound as "â"). All sources listed him as such, in Romania (I have already used Liveanu, but there are thousands of others) and throughout the world, until the 1990s, when "â" was reintroduced for obscure reasons. To suggest that he was "born" anything other than "Sîrbu" in 1950 is terribly ignorant. Dahn (talk) 13:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
