The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Splits are outside the scope of RM and a separate discussion should probably be started about that. If the consensus is indeed to split this list back up that's fine, but in the interim we may as well have this list at the correct title. Jenks24 (talk) 12:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply



Alphabetical List of Catholic titular seesList of Catholic titular sees – We need to take over the target page in the correct fashion. No other structured list exists, so the qualifier "Alphabetical" is wholly unnecessary and verbose, in violation of WP:CONCISE. Elizium23 (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2016 (UTC) Relisted.

What do you proposed to do with List of Catholic titular sees? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
I have proposed its deletion. Elizium23 (talk) 00:45, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • I just noticed this. Was the merge of all 5 list articles into one controversial? If it wasn't, let's just go ahead and move this page to there (and delete that pointless non-disambiguation that's there now). --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose WP:SIZE this article is twice the size of recommended pages (32kB) so will offer difficulties to people browsing on mobile browsers. Instead this should be resplit into three or four lists. It is also exceedingly lengthy, making it hard to read. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 07:27, 26 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Confused and a question – At the List of Catholic titular sees each of the different lines of alphabet section links Redirects to the exact same Alphabetical list of Catholic titular sees. I understand (and Agree with} the need to Move/rename but am confused about whether the second part of breaking into seperate pages/lists should be done. To me that's a second issue.  JoeHebda (talk)  13:43, 26 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yes, this article is the result of a merge by Fastifex (talk · contribs) and it was very sloppily done. There was no attribution given for the cut-and-paste move, making it a WP:COPYVIO until I repaired it by providing attribution. I would also support a resplit if that is what others feel is best.

It is a frustrating experience to click on a wiki-link on this page and find oneself on a page for the town, not a diocese (e.g. Click on 'Philadelphia in Arabia' and you get Amman in Jordan, where there is absolutely nothing about the diocese, titular or otherwise. On another page entirely there was a red link to 'Philadelphia in Arabia' What will happen when someone decides to do a new page on that topic?). That practice not only causes a waste of time, but also leads one to think that the work on the topic is completed. Incorrect and imprecise links should be removed. --Vicedomino (talk) 08:14, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
