If you are forced to remove the "original" text (no, I am not an "author" of it), you may replace it with the following stub, so that we'll be able to interwiki it with the artcle in Slovenian language which will be ready soon. Meanwhile I'll search for his name written in Armenian script. I'll also try to translate it into English but I am afraid I am not good at English music terms. If you obtain a permission to include the original text, you may add some extra information from the stub.
Soghomon Gevorkevich Soghomonyan - Komitas Vartabed, by western Armenian transliteration also Gomidas, born on September 26 1869 in Kütahya, Turkey, died on October 22 1935 in Paris, France, was an Armenian priest, composer of choir music, musicologist.
Now I can see a temporary page. Copying my stub there....
Since the correct Eastern Armenian transliteration is "Komitas Vardapet" and the Western is "Gomidas Vartabed", the current article title is neither here nor there. I'll move it to "Komitas Vardapet" unless there are any objections within a week. --Aramgutang 15:04, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I believe you. Actually the spelling used first appeared at Music of Armenia, I clicked the link and entered my text into it. You'll find similar confusion if you read all external links. So if you decide to move the page, please drop a note at the interwikied Slovenian article and correct all links at other articles that point here (click "What links here"). Of course you may add additional redirection (e.g. transliterations from western Armenian) titles. And thanks for the name in Armenian script. --Fpga 09:28, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Date of birth
The biography #3 (Komitas's autobiographical section) mentions September 26 while EB mentions October 8. Don't know if at least one source is simply wrong or is it calendar confusion. Don't know what kind of calendar was used in Ottoman empire where he was born, does he use Julian as he spent much uf his life in Echmiadzin (then Russian controlled part of Armenia) or does Armenian church still use it ....?
