Talk:Grandmaster's Palace, Valletta

Renaming and Redirecting

I suggest the following two things to this article:

1. The title should be renamed "Grand Master's Palace (Valletta)" so as to avoid confusion with the Grand Master's palace in Rhodes of the same order of Knights Hospitaller (not to mention other orders of Knights).

2. The content should be transferred to a new article by the name of "Presidential Palace (Valletta)" which is the present designation of the building. "Grand Master's Palace (Valletta)" would re-direct to this other article.

What do you think?

Grandmaster's Palace → The Palace, Valletta — May cause confusion with other articles and "The Palace, Valletta" is the current name. Demdem (talk) 14:03, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:UCN (use common names) and WP:TWODABS (use hatnotes to disambiguate two articles). the sources here and most elsewhere use "Grandmaster's Palace" or "Grand Master's Palace". I added a hatnote to the article in case there is any confusion. (As an aside, if you go to Google Maps and search for "The Palace Valletta" you get a hotel.) — AjaxSmack 19:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

The site of the President of Malta refers to it as "The Palace, Valletta". I doubt any other "source" would come anywhere close in terms of authority.

Good point but Wikipedia doesn't always do official names if the common name is different. Cf. the Blue House, Camp David, Zhongnanhai. — AjaxSmack 05:40, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose use the common English name, redirect the official name to this one. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:04, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
