Talk:Zheng (surname)

message: From VfD:
The 22nd most common Chinese surname.  Does that mean we can expect 21 more?  RickK 20:40, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)
*There have been lots of surname articles listed on VfD before and all have been deleted in the past.  (there, does that satisfy Anthony?  No, probably not.) RickK 20:55, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)
**Of course not.  Just because we've broken policy in the past doesn't mean we should do it again now.  You can't nominate an article for deletion without a reason. anthony (see warning) 01:10, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: There is a proposal to create a precedent that names are not encyclopedic. Articles about names regularly show up on various deletion pages and are summarily deleted. Perhaps - since you've been working on an article about a name, you hold a different opinion that you'd like to express.

message: "The meaning of the Zhèng surname can be translated roughly as an adjective: either 'class' or as 'seriousness', 'sincere', or 'reserved'."
I have not found any source giving this definition. No part of the character, which is primarily the name of a nation-state of the Zhou dynasty, has any association with the suggested meanings. Not to mention that sentence is not even grammatical. It needs a reference. 69.46.80.2 (talk) 11:50, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you are confusing it with the character 正.  郑 is only used as a geographical and personal name. --94.134.89.128 (talk) 14:12, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
