Advertisement[edit]

This reads like an advertisement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.64.78 (talk) 23:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This text appears to have been copied and pasted directly from Dean's own web site, which would explain why it reads like an advertisement. Please edit so it reads less so. 66.115.38.2 (talk) 14:09, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic[edit]

"Dean" is not an Arabic name, and دين is an Arabic word meaning "religion", which I've never heard of being used as a personal name in standalone form... AnonMoos (talk) 23:07, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone claiming Dean is an Arabic name? It's not an Italian name either. Seems like it's just a simple transliteration of his American name into Arabic script. JesseRafe (talk) 02:23, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably taken from the Arabic Wikipedia article title. However, if part of his name does not come from Arabic (which should be assumed to be the case in the absence of very specific evidence to the contrary), then an Arabic transcription of that part of his name is not too relevant for this article...
