Talk:Abdul Razak (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I understand this order -- it lists everyone whose name has been transliterated as "Abdul Razak", ending with a "k", and then lists the similar transliterations.

Well, transliterations from Arabic to European languages are highly arbitrary, making the difference between "Razak", "Razaq" etc not particularly meaningful. Other transliterations are possible, straight alphabetical for instance. Or split the list into those individuals who are only - Abdul Razak, or some variation thereof, and those who have other components to their name, and then sorting those two lists alphabetically.

I have a little more problem understanding the reasoning behind splitting those alleged to be terrorists from those not alleged to be terrorists.

Maybe we should discuss the alternative sorting orders?
