Talk:Daniel (given name)

message: This is really a disambiguation page -- it's even marked as such -- it should be merged with the standard disambiguation page.  An article called "Daniel_(name)" should probably be an etymological discussion of the name. --Delius1967 19:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The MoS for dab pages indicates moving such information to "List of people named [X]", so this has been moved here (List of people named Daniel).  If desired, Daniel (name) can now be an etymology of Daniel, of course. ENeville 00:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: In the "Daniel as a first name" section, wisely or not, the names are split into categories--should the same be done for the "Daniel as a surname" section, given that it is quite long. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.125.212.120 (talk) 17:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think splitting the list by profession is a good idea, as it makes things complicated when a person is notable for than one profession they have had during their lifetime, such as an actor-turned-politician or a person who is an actor and a musician.

replies: text: Splitting the list by profession is a good idea. And it is done on other articles about common names. Where a person is known for more than one thing, they would best be listed according to their primary area of notability. If there are cases where the primary area of notability is not obvious, the name could be listed in more than once section.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:23, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Perhaps move this to "List of notable people named Daniel"? --HappyCamper 01:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If they are on this list, then by definition they are notable, as per Wikipedia standards. --DLandTALK 02:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This article is not only a list, it also gives info about the name, hence the current name of the article is correct. Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 15:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But the article also seems to contain a very long list of people named Daniel (or some variation of Daniel), and doesn't contain very much else. It is unclear whether it is attempting to list everyone who is mentioned on Wikipedia who is named Daniel, and if not, who should be listed and who should not. This seems like a basically undesirable situation. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move page? 

message: The lead contained a sentence saying "Daniel is commonly found in English roots in American countries." To me this sentence seemed strange in several ways. Rather than listing the various ways it seemed strange, I have simply deleted it. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Should the article be split into Daniel (given name) and Daniel (surname)?
*Support - this is the practice with many articles such as John. This page should be a disambiguation page. StAnselm (talk) 00:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Much more likely that McDaniels and O'Daniels and Some Danielson are just Anglicizations of the name Donal/Donald/Domhnall which is Gaelic for world ruler.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.20.195.39 (talk) 22:32, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
