I think the external link is of no use because you cannot access the obituary ("This article is available in full to Independent Portfolio subscribers. Access it through BT click&buy"). <KF> 01:34, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

That's odd. It works fine for me, and I am not a subscriber. - SimonP 01:52, Feb 5, 2004 (UTC)

Ba'th party[edit]

He was actually a member of the National Command of the Ba'th Party, wasn't he? I presume the one who was, and was also from Jordan, was the same Abd al-Rahman Munif. Palmiro | Talk 15:57, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Vintage, his English language publisher, renders his name as "Abdelrahman Munif". Shouldn't that be what we use? john k (talk) 02:54, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quartet Books, another publisher of his works in English, uses "Abd al-Rahman Munif". His obituary in The Guardian uses "Abdul-Rahman Mounif". Wikipedia really ought to have a preferred Romanization of Arabic, but alas. In this case it doesn't look as if any specific romanization is more common or standard than the other.

The version used here is used by the New York Times, seemingly. I do think that it would be better to use a spelling that is actually used by one of his English publishers, although I don't know how to decide between them. john k (talk) 20:46, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing to do would be to have a redirects from every possible spelling of his name. Madler (talk) 16:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
