Linea 63:
::::::::Maybe the "delete" was a mistake, as the article can reasonably be interpreted as a disambiguation page (as 86.88.177.214 points out) and should therefore perhaps formally be made into one. But then Vicipaedia should have a separate article on ''[[Lawsonia inermis]],'' a title that at the moment has been caused to redirect to [[Alchanna]]. ''Lawsonia inermis'' isn't, and never was, exactly the same thing as ''alchanna.'' [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] 19:10, 11 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::That makes very good sense, I think. Whenever you want to write that article, just go to the page (this link [http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lawsonia_inermis&redirect=no] may help) and edit. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 19:26, 11 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
== Cypros or ''Lawsonia inermis''? ==
The discussion above has become so widely extended, that it seems useful to have a separate section concerning only the question whether this article should be called ‘cypros’ (classical), ‘alchanna’ (medieval) or ''Lawsonia inermis'' (scientific).
As I stated above, the name 'alchanna' should be avoided, because it is ambiguous: having first been borrowed from Arabic to refer to cypros / ''Lawsonia inermis'', it has later been transferred to plants in the genus ''Alkanna'' (a spelling variant of ‘alchanna’). I will try to bring this out by turning [[Alchanna]] into a real disambiguation page. I therefore propose that the present discussion be moved from [[Disputatio:Alchanna]] to [[Disputatio:Cypros (arbustum)]] which - if it is so decided (I hope not!) – can be moved along with [[Cypros (arbustum)]] to [[Lawsonia inermis]].
The only real question remaining is whether the article should be called [[Cypros (arbustum)]] or ''[[Lawsonia inermis]]''. Personally, I prefer the name ‘cypros’, because it is the classical Latin name, as opposed to ‘Lawsonia’, and we have once decided to prefer classical Latin over Latin of other periods, unless there is no clear classical term. Besides, there is no chance of misunderstanding here, as there is no other plant species with which cypros could be identified. --[[Usor:Fabullus|Fabullus]] 09:46, 12 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
