There was going to be a problem with the redirection of 'Saint Rombout' towards this former article 'Rumold':
- The usual English name for Dutch 'Rombout' is 'Rumbold'; for Latin and Dutch 'Rumoldus' is 'Rumold'. I think 'Rombaut' is either French or a misspelling, not belonging in the English language Wikipedia.
- It looks silly to see 'For the cartographer, see Rumold Mercator' when clicking on a 'Saint Rombaut' link.
- As just about any other saint, his name has been given to thousands of people, some of which are well-known. Soon we will have to put an endless list of 'For the ... Rombout ..., see Rombout ...' – imagine 'Saint Paul' redirecting to an article 'Paul'.
I suggest moving the content of this article to 'Saint Rumbold', redirection from 'Saint Rombout' to such; 'Rumold' (if such a [disambiguity] page would exist, saying 'For the saint, see Saint Rumbold'. -- SomeHuman 2006-06-15 16:08 (UTC) [words in bold italics modified, see my next paragraph]
After looking at advanced Google stats when choosing English language, on 'Rumbold', 'Rumold' and other names mentioned, briefly inspecting some of the appearing articles, and sources quoted in the article, moved from 'Rumbold' (incl. my above 'talk') to newly created article 'Saint Rumbold' (and its talk page); the mentioning of the cartographer is here for a now even more obvious reason left out. -- SomeHuman 2006-06-15 17:33 (UTC)
Sounds good. Thanks for doing that. --Polylerus 18:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Your most welcome, Polylerus, especially as you're the initiator and only author of the 'Rumold' article before my intervention. -- SomeHuman 2006-06-16 01:00 (UTC)
