• Ludovisi (family) → Ludovisi – The family should be the main page. I have added a note at the top already. --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 16:45, 29 June 2013 (UTC) 216.8.129.17 (talk) 20:32, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

• Comment wouldn't this be better as the House of Ludovisi ? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 08:50, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose - to answer the comment above, a number of "House of..." or simply "<Surname>" articles were recently renamed to "<Surname> family" to make it clear we're talking about a family of people and not one person, such as in the case of Mazarin (which is a redirect anyway). So per the now generally accepted convention, the family should be at Ludovisi family per the consensus naming convention for Italian noble families of the era. That said, most other similar family articles do not have a disambiguation page in place of a redirect - see Barberini and Pamphili for example. All the things on the disambig page are about the one family - family members, family property or artworks from the family estate. Typically the "family" page becomes a form of disambiguation and includes those articles as links. See, for example, Barberini#Patrons of the arts - there would be no point having a separate disambiguation page to list all of their family members (already in the family tree) and all of their property (already in the article) and all of their artwork (as linked earlier from the article). In my opinion, the family should be at Ludovisi family, it should include everything at Ludovisi and that title should redirect to the family page. The title of this page should redirect there too. I appreciate the effort of this proposal but this whole issue has been worked through before and I don't see any need for this particular family to be apart from the rest in terms of naming convention. Of course consensus can change, but I don't think it has since those moves, some earlier this year. Stalwart111 09:36, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• Summary -

Ludovisi (family) should be moved to Ludovisi family per naming convention.

Ludovisi content should be merged to Ludovisi family and redirected there.

The new Ludovisi family should be expanded to include all family members, property and art.

Actually, a Ludovisi collection article needs to be built instead. While the family members can be merged from the dab page to the family article, the rione should remain there, and a Ludovisi collection article can be used to indicate the various artworks from the demolished villa. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 00:29, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

The rione can be disambiguated from the family article once Ludovisi has been redirected there. Otherwise that page would simply disambiguate the family and the rione named after them. There just isn't a need for a page to disambiguate things relating to the same family and that approach would be inconsistent with how we deal with every other similar family. As for the art, I have no objection to the creation of a fork to cover the collection but I don't really think it's justified. Other families of the era had much larger collections, some of which eventually seeded major national galleries. Those galleries obviously have articles but the collections themselves don't.
