A few Arabic names that I submitted were deleted. The reason given was that they were names with an article (al) but according to the source I linked to says that al- names (laqabs) can indeed be separate names. Ie, The scientist Alhazen's personal name was al-Hasan, not Hasan. (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/arabic-naming2.htm "Sometimes what appear to be regularly-formed laqabs are found used instead of, or in the place of, an ism")
