The article should reflect current format of naming duchies, see Duchy of Lancaster and Duchy of Cornwall for reference sake. Gryffindor 08:15, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. The analogy does not work: the point about the Duchy of Lancaster and Duchy of Cornwall is that they provide a private income for the British Queen and Prince of Wales; they are not about Lancaster or really about Lancashire or Cornwall. But this article is about one of the many historical forms of Brabant. Your next stage would be Province of Brabant rather than Brabant (province) and then you would have to change the provincial articles in Spain and elsewhere. (previous unsigned comment by User:Henrygb)
Exactly, that would have to be changed as well, thank you for pointing that out. The article has a link to Duke of Brabant and not Brabant (Duke), and other historical forms are also listed as Duchy of Bremen, County of Burgundy, Principality of Lüneburg, Duchy of Limburg, etc... This article is the only one that is not up to format, it should change in order to be consistent with the rest. Gryffindor 11:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Support. See various other principalities with a similar naming scheme at Category:Former countries in Europe. Olessi 19:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved for consistency's sake. (The "province" one, too.) —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 08:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hm Province of Brabant is pushing it a bit, we don't want to rename all the other provinces to "Province of East-Flanders" and "Province of Hainaut"? We don't want to move Connecticut to "State of Connecticut" do we? In the province case we're talking about a disambiguation and in that case we use the brackets, like for Antwerp (province). Duchy of Brabant can stay where it is but I disagree on the province. Piet 21:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

a redirect to this page was removed, and now, countless amounts of confusion ensue.--K3vin (talk) 02:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
