Talk:Royal Palace of Brussels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Suggested move to avoid 'The'
According to Wikipedia naming conventions, the definite article "the" should not normally be used in front of a name. Therefore I suggest this article should be moved to simply Royal Palace of Belgium. (See also WP:NCD where it gives as an example "Eiffel Tower, not The Eiffel Tower") --David Edgar 11:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- On second thoughts, surely it should be moved to Royal Palace of Brussels, as this is a direct translation of both the French and Flemish/Dutch names. --David Edgar 11:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed it should be renamed, but how is it possible to move this article without losing the history when Royal Palace of Belgium is already an existing redirect? --Dionysos1 13:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Normally you can follow the instructions at Help:Moving a page#Moving over a redirect or in a case like this where the redirect page has some history, list the page at Wikipedia:Requested moves. However, if we just move it to Royal Palace of Brussels, we avoid these problems altogether, as this page doesn't currently exist. --David Edgar 11:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK, as there were no other comments I was bold and moved it. --David Edgar 16:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
