I suggested this move originally as uncontroversial because I consider either "St Victor" or "St. Victor" to be controversial, whereas "Saint Victor" is undeniably correct (as is "Saint-Victor"). User:Anthony Appleyard disagreed, saying it was better to decide on St./St preference rather than use the rarest form (Saint). However, according to Google, "Abbey of Saint Victor" is more common than either abbreviated form. Since it is not possible to get a Wikipedia-wide consensus for one form of abbreviation over the other in a short time, I think it best that we just move it to the uncontroversial form of his name, even if it is not necessarily the most "common", since the common forms are open to allegations of bad form and error.

In the first four books I pulled off my shelves, I found all four versions:
Wetherbee, ed., A History of Twelfth-Century Western Philosophy: Saint-Victor
Marenbon, Early Medieval Philosophy: St Victor
Coppleston, A History of Philosophy, vol. 2: St. Victor
Gilson, History of Christian Philosophy in the Middle Ages: Saint Victor
Frankly, I don't see any compelling reason for preferring one over any other. As long as all are covered by redirects, the current title seems as good as any other, though I would like to see the boldface form of the name in the article's first sentence match the title.

I already moved Richard of Saint Victor and Adam of Saint Victor in anticipation of this move being uncontroversial, only to be informed that it was not, though I failed to see why it wouldn't be. Srnec (talk) 20:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's OK, too. The title for Hugh should parallel those for Adam and Richard, so I see no problem with "Saint Victor" here. Deor (talk) 12:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have today (15 Oct 2010) reverted his date of birth from c. 1078 to c. 1096. This reverses an earlier change from 1096 to c. 1078 made on 18 Sep 2009 by [[1]]. Perhaps this earlier edit was correct, but I am suspicious as it was the user's only edit and it contradicts other on-line sources e.g. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07521c.htm; http://www.medievalchurch.org.uk/p_hugh.php. If the date of birth really should be 1078 then please reinstate this and provide a reference for the date. Felix116 (talk) 09:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
