I propose that this page be moved to Berengar II of Italy. I present the following reasons in point form:

  • The Manual of Style indicates that monarch should be styled in the form "Name + Ordinal + of + Kingdom". Berengar's kingdom was Italy and he was the second Berengar (Berengar of Friuli was the first).
  • Consistency: some Italian kings seem to be left under their common names, while some appear properly as per the MoS. I will propose these moves on all pertinent pages for medieval Italian kings.
  • A figure should be titled by his most important title in life and I think Berengar would like to be remembered as the king of Italy and not the mere Eporedian margrave.
  • The Italian, Esperanto, and German Wikis all use a form of "Berengar II".

A move (with a redirect) sounds like a good idea. Havard 17:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
As long as there's a redirect from the familiar name, whatever Wikipedianism "consistency" may invent will be quite harmless. The appeal to what Berengar "would have wanted" is a charming touch, though. --Wetman 13:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
I concur with Wetman here. --Ghirla -трёп- 14:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
