- Support. Since Eritrean Catholics dislike being called Ethiopian Catholics, and since English has the word "Ethiopic" as well as "Ethiopian", would it not be better to move this article to "Ethiopic Catholic Church"? In languages other than English, Eritrean Catholics often (most often?) refer to their Church as the Ge'ez Catholic Church. "Ethiopic" is often used as a synonym of the word "Ge'ez", the liturgical language of this Church. Lima 17:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:UE: use the most commonly used English version of the name for the article, as you would find it in other encyclopedias and reference works. - Evv 15:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. What's the oficial English translation according to the ECC? I guess that if they dislike being called "Ethiopians" (what I understand perectly after such a long conflict) they could seceed and form the Eritrean Catholic Church. If they don't, probably they don't care so much after all. --Sugaar 02:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

- Maybe it would be better to move to Ge'ez Catholic Church, don't you think? --Sugaar 02:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
