Evacuation of the Louvre museum art collection during World War II → Evacuation of the Louvre collection during World War II – Simplification of the title. Alternative ideas welcome. Maybe even just "Evacuation of the Louvre during World War II"? SSR07 (talk) 15:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Pardon my naïveté, but is “art collection” a meaningful modifier in the current title? It is used throughout the article to describe what was evacuated. Were there other collections that were treated differently? That doesn’t seem to be the case but the title and article content raise that question. Assuming “art” collection is not important to the meaning, your suggestion seems reasonable. It’s much simpler. Keeping “collection” (but not “art”) clarifies that people were not evacuated. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 17:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think so. Art in the title's use of the word seems to encompass all arts: sculpture, paintings, etc. There's a photo in the article of the famous Winged Victory statue being hauled off, so it is definitely not exclusive to just the painting collection, which I think your question may have been hinting at? Separately, I agree with your assessment of the options: the word "collection" is valuable. SSR07 (talk) 21:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
