Requested move (previous)

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. Neduvelilmathew, Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#Syriac_bishops is clear on this; if you believe this is not correct then the best place to resolve your concerns would be at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions. fish&karate 15:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]



Relisted. Favonian (talk) 11:53, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Names of this ancient historical church clergy at the higher level is not given in the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (clergy). These new titles given to these Malankara Metropolitans and bishops are ridiculus and insulting. I am a member of this church. So the reverting.

Comment Well, the naming convention does recomend against using "Mar", here: Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#Syriac_bishops. However, in these cases the bishops are rarely referred to as "Thoma I, Thoma II", etc. without the honorific "Mar".Cúchullain t/c 20:09, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the naming convention is stated; Wikipedia is secular and does not use titles such as Saint, King, Queen, Sir, Sri, Guru, Mar, Bishop, Archbishop, Metropolitan, His Royal Highness which various adherents and citizens of the particular religion or country may well commonly use; for saints of any colour, creed or denomination see Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#Saints. No insult is intended or implied in this naming, and the commonly-used honorifics and honours may be given in the article body, as the disputed articles now do.

Yes, but Wikipedia also uses common names. The problem here is that there are few if any sources that refer to these individuals as "Thoma I", "Thoma II", etc.--Cúchullain t/c 21:32, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nor do sources refer to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland simply as Elizabeth II as we for consistency rightly do Crusoe8181 (talk) 05:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Many sources refer to "Elizabeth II".[1] The difference here is that few if any sources refer to these people as "Thoma I", "Thoma II" etc. Wikipedia shouldn't be making up its own names.Cúchullain t/c 12:28, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marthoma

[edit]

Hi, Cuchullain,

Your response is much appreciated. Thank you.

Marthoma (Mar Thoma in English), is the name given to the head of the Malankara Church at the time of his consecration. Head of this Church is addressed only by the name, ‘’Marthoma’’ and not by any other name. Even their parents call them, ‘’Mar Thoma’’. Their baptismal names are unknown and giving them the name Thoma by Wikipedia is not correct and acceptable.

I did not know that Wikipedia is authorized to change the names of people according to some ‘’Naming Conventions’’ that they make. Respected people must always be respected. The name Elizabeth is very common. Her Majesty should be respected and her name should be given correctly. The name Thoma is very common in Kerala. ‘’Mar Thoma’’ should be respected and the name should not be changed.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 17:19, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think this needs to be reopened, as move-warring has clouded the issue. It seems from the above discussion that no-one has yet countered the claim that the current names (without "Mar") are simply not used. If that is the case, then we absolutely can't use those names - if there's a guideline that tells us to, then it means there's something wrong with the guideline, not with the proposed titles. As was said somewhere above, Wikipedia does not make stuff up. Can someone who supports the shorter names provide some sources to support them? If not, then we need the articles to be moved and the guideline updated.Kotniski (talk) 07:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
