[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)
