I suggest that this page changes name to "Sven Nilsson" since we actually know his surname and thereby it would be easier to distinguish between him and other Svens. 130.236.60.34 16:03, 28 January 2008 (CET)
- Agreed, as long as the last name appears in the original English version and isn't just an invention by the Swedish editors when it was published in Fantomen. Member 7 16:22, 28 January 2008 (CET)
- Honestly speaking, I have no idea if "Nilsson" was an invention by the Swedish editors or existed in the original English. However, Diana's mother called him "mr Nilsson" and hoped that Diana would marry him instead, and the name is used several times in the story, therefore it seem likely that it is correct. (If it was not so that Falk used some "invented" Swedish name that would sound Swedish to Americans but did not do it to the Swedes, who therefore "helped" Falk) I have, however, no means to find out if it really was like that. Perhaps some English speaking user of PhantomWiki have the original English and know. 130.236.60.34 16:44, 28 January 2008 (CET)
- I have read the original English version now, and only seen him referred to as Sven and Mr. Sven. Moving the article in accordance with this (but Sven Nilsson remains as a redirect). Andreas 23:03, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
