One of Khalil Gibran's short poems is used in Anonymous 12-step addicted group meetings (first in AA) when the meeting is over. Aminabzz (talk) 16:59, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

The topic of the article spells his name Kahlil. The article then spells his name Khalil. I don't care which one the article chooses but it seems that the topic should match the article's actual spelling. I'd personally change it to Khalil in the title but would rather leave the task to people who already work with this page in order to avoid reversion and unnecessary engagement from my side.

Kahlil Gibran’s real Arabic name was Jubrān Khalīl Jubrān (where the first Jubrān was his given name), but his school in the United States changed his name to “Kahlil Gibran”, which is the name he published his works and became most famous with in English. Therefore I don’t see a need to rename to “Khalil Gibran”. If people really cared about using his real Arabic name, they would ask for the page to be moved to “Jubran Khalil Jubran”… All occurrences of Khalil in the first section are of his father.

Second, at the end of the first sentence, it indicates usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran. This adheres to the MOS:LEADSENTENCE guideline. I just searched throughout the article, & Khalil is then never seems to be used again for the subject. All subsequent uses of that spelling seem to refer to other entities.
