the cite does not even references aino

the citation is bogus... it only talks about rand and the possibility of a name, there is no relationship there. --Buridan 16:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here's what you removed, labeling it "original research" in the edit summary:

==Influential ==

Influential American novelist [[Ayn Rand]] stated that her first name ''Ayn'' was an adaptation of a female Finnish name,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_ayn_rand_faq_index2#ar_q3b|title="What is the origin of "Rand"?"|accessdate=2006-03-28}}</ref> possibly that of Kallas'.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/bio/biofaq-notes.html | title=Ayn Rand Biographical FAQ (Notes) | work=Objectivism Reference Center | date=2006-07-10 |accessdate=2007-04-18}}</ref>

Now, my question is this: whose original research is it? Otheus 20:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

if there is no clear citable relationship that says rand claimed that she was referring to aino, then it is just original research, and at worst fiction. if we can't find a direct inference between person a, and person b, then there is no relationship. that ARI says x is related to y because y referred to a series of names in which x is included, then there is still no relationship between x vs y, it is just ARI making spurious arguments. --Buridan 00:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the reference Rand clearly states that she is refering to "Aino". Which Finnish writer she is refering to is a different question. The fact is that there are very few Finnish female writers name "Aino" who had built a reputation by the time Ayn Rand took her name. -- Petri Krohn 02:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
