thread_title: pov-sect

message: In all fairness, I think Mr. Dewinter's christian name should be "Filip" and not "Philip". "Philip" may be the official form, but if Mr. Dewinter chooses to write his christian name as "Filip" there is not much one can do about it. After all, we also speak about "Bart Somers", "Jaak Gabriels", "Annemie Neyts", "Pim Fortuyn", and "Bill Clinton" despite the fact that their official names are "Bartolomeus Somers", "Jacobus Gabriels", "Anne-Marie Neyts", "Wilhelmus Fortuijn", and "William Clinton".

Either way the talk page and the article should match up.--T. Anthony 03:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Philip vs Filip

message: It has not been deleted yet and although I'm loathe to put it on articles of living people he is noted as one who discusses the term. See Islamophobia#Alleged acts of Islamophobia.--T. Anthony 02:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I put him in the new category due to his relevance to the issue. See Flemish Republic article and the Wikipedia article I linked to. It's true that this should be restricted on people per BLP but 
#The category at base is not meant to suggest the subject is Islamophobic as half of what's in it are civil rights groups. 
#People I added who simply self-describe as Islamophobic, but who were not significant to the topic, were removed and rightly so.
#The category is for people and organizations significant to the subject. As a political figure of some importance his opinions on the topic would be relevant in a way the opinions of actresses or singers would not be. 
#As mentioned his opinions on the subject are part of his notability or significance. 
If you wish the category to be re-deleted that's a different discussion. Thank you.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
