Talk:List of European Union directives

[edit] Naming policy needed before it is too late

We seem to have two house styles, though almost all current articles use the first. I propose that we agree a single house syle:

1. Directive on <blah blah blah>
2. <Blah blah blah> directive

I've removed the A/B voting (since these obviously aren't the only two options). It's probably better to discuss it (and hopefully not need a vote at all).

Perhaps it might be a good idea to include the phrase EU or European Union? For example, "European Union Directive on X"? Talrias (t | e | c) 22:11, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I was taking as given that the article currently uses just those two forms. Either seems good to me, though I prefer the first. I think the prefixes you suggest are excessively lengthy and don't add anything. I know of know other context in which the word "Directive" is used. Do you? --Red King 21:39, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, we did just agree to put "(European Commission)" at the end of every DG article (see Talk:Directorate-General#Naming Conventions). A similar argument could be made here. Talrias (t | e | c) 16:13, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that this is a valid comparison. "Director General" is widely used. --Red King 20:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
