edit- Please try to find a verifiable, reliable source, preferably in English that mentions the name Ardian. Thankou.Megistias (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- Megistias, I really did my best and didn't find any sources in english about the popular albanian name, Ardian. The best ones I found are in Albanian language, but as far as I know, Wikipedia allows us to use non-English sources if there are no sources in english, and in the case of this personal name, Ardian, there aren't any. As for your last few comments you addressed me with at 'Ardian: Discussion', like :"This is about a personal name not about the plural translation in modern Albanian of an ancient tribe."- Well, I believe that I already explained to you that Ardian is literaly a singular form of the word Ardianet, which is Albanian word for the name of ancient Illyrian tribe of Ardiaei or Ardiaeans.Although there is no direct source that shows this this can be easily seen at the examples I provided to you. After all, where does it say that internet is an unreliable source? "This the only secondary source mentioning Ardian and it is also unverifiable. Hasani, Hasan (2006). 5555 Emra shqip per femije. Faik Konica. Prishtine. p.13.ISBN: 9951-06-127-3."-That's the only one I could find and I'll try to scan a page and send it out to make it more verifiable. "The article will then be deleted as it is not notable.Megistias (talk) 22:07, 14 February 2010 (UTC)". Why are you informing me about that. I didn't put it there. You're the administrator, you can do whatever you like. "Well Hasani is not verifiable and Fjalor Me Emra Shqiptar is a book published in a Totalitarian state, communist Albania.That makes it an unreliable source. So this would mean that we have no sources at all.Megistias (talk) 22:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)"- I am not sure that this particular argument of yours is valid and complying with the Wikipedia rules, so being that you are an administrator I would appreciate if you show me the wikipedia rule according to which a source cannot be used if it comes from a totalitarian regime. On the other hand it strikes me that being an administrator, you didn't spot that sources No. 1 and especially source No. 5 in the 'Ardian' article are not relevant. They are not about the name, Ardian. They don't even mention that name, let alone say something about it. I am surprised that you as an administrator would not have noticed such an iregularity, something that obviously does not comply with the wikipedia rules?!! If sources in Albanian language are not allowed, why do you allow the sources that are clearly irrelevant just because they are in English? What's the point?Greetings.
