[edit] Need help combining articles

This article should be part of Raffi Cavoukian. I have corrected the name throughout the article. But this article should be elimated, in lieu of the actual article about Raffi Cavoukian, the Armenian-Canadian musician.

I do not have the time to compare this article with the actual article to make sure nothing would be lost by deleting this redunant page.

  • Are you sure you're not mixing the children's entertainer Raffi and the classical conductor Raffi up? I'm looking elsewhere on the net and I'm finding lots of references to Raffi Armenian: his entry in the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada, a listing showing him as a professor at the University of Toronto, a Google cache of an article at the Waterloo Public Library, a CD on Amazon with him as a conductor...

    • I think you're right. I see now that the dates of birth are different (at least according to the wikipedia). The similarities (both born in Cairo...both emigrated to Canada...both musicians...one named Armenian, the other nationaly Armenian) confused me. I will do some more digging to see if there is a connection that can be verified, but until then...I have no problems leaving the article how it was before I butchered it.

[edit] Lol

Is that his real name? He's an Armenian whose last name is "Armenian"?

...What does "Armenian" mean in Armenian, anyway? I thought hay- was the Armenian stem for all things Armenian o_o - ∅ (∅), 07:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
