Hi. I suggest that this article be moved to Twelve minor prophets, for several reasons:
- The actual title of the book is Trei Asar or The Twelve.
- The term "Minor prophet" itself has no meaning whatsoever outside the context of this collection of twelve small books.
- In English translaions, the bok is nerly always called "The Tweve Minor Prophets."
Redirects would of course remain from Minor prophet, Minorprophets, etc. Dovi 07:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- I also think the page should be moved, dawg. However, since Twelve Minor Prophets is a name and is commonly capitalized, then should it not be moved to Twelve Minor Prophets or else Minor Prophets? --Eliyak TยทC 04:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- I think you are right: Twelve Minor Prophets, as the proper title of a book (perhaps ever with "The").Dovi 21:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think this move is a good idea. The article is about the group of people rather than the subject of what a minor prophet is (which is something that may not even deserve its own article). Thus, as it is bout the Twelve Minor Prophets, it should be treated as a proper noun and have the proper title. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 22:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Relating to this, no-one seems to have done anything, but it this article is not about the people, it's about the books. Actually, I regard it as one book, and prefer to call it "The Twelve", but the collection is usually called "The Minor Prophets" in English. StAnselm 14:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
