submitted name Lori

Earlier today I submitted a name to the database, Lori used as a diminutive for Dolores or Dolorosa. I provided much evidence for this usage of Lori (distinct from its use as diminutive of Laura or Lorraine).

But checking again just now, it says there is NO submitted name for Lori! What happened to my submitted name? Do I need to just submit it again? It is NOT a duplicate because BTN does not include Lori used as a diminutive for Dolores or Dolorosa yet.

I saw it was deleted without giving a reason, I have undeleted it again because it is clearly different in usage and etymology from the Lori in the main database.

I appreciate it! I hope the main database Lori will be updated soon to include these usages! :)

I deleted it and I did give a reason; it's in the revision history-- I felt it was the same as database name and the submitter could simply add a comment to the database name "Also can be a diminutive for Dolores or Dolorosa". What is different about it otherwise?

Ah, I see. I have further edited the entry to make the cultural difference more clear.

I have no problems when the additional information is added to main database entry; short forms are prone to have more than one etymology and disentangling them systematically is probably not worth the effort.

I submitted it because it deserves to be included on the main database alongside the other usages, and the way to draw attention to that is by submitting it. I have in fact already commented on the database name with these other usages, but if I want Dolores and Dolorosa to be eventually considered for inclusion on the database Lori alongside Laura and Lorraine which are already there, I must submit so this can be seen! Otherwise, I suppose I can submit it as a "correction" to an existing given name. If desired, I can do that. I am only trying to ensure that this usage is included somewhere on here, lol.

It will still be considered for submission when added as a comment on the original name. There is no need for a duplicate of the name in this instance, and I am in agreement with Rachel Shaina that it be deleted. The information has been added to the contribution section "bearers" under Lori.
