Judicael ap Hoel is not the WP:ENGLISHWP:COMMONNAME of this figure. Moreover, he was a medieval Breton, not a modern Welshman, and there is no sensible reason to use the modern Welsh form of his name as a dab from the other Judicaels. It should be moved and any return to its former inaccurate name should detail some rationale for that move. See also WP:POINT.
None of the older breton rulers were "modern Welshmen" ! That they may have root in Wales is a fortuitous thing and that Early Breton culture was largely both Cornish and/or Welsh is also fortuitous but should not impact this work. By the time of Judicael the idea that a breton ruler would still hold power in Great Britain had nearly disappeared and the inverse is true, Welsh and Cornish rulers were no longer holding, as a matter of course, power on both sides of the Channel. Moreover, that he is a "Saint" is as much a cultural phenomenon in the Celtic nations as it is a "true fact" with regards to an established religion (the modern Roman Catholic church acknowledges that there are many more celtic saints named in places throughout Brittany, Cornwall, Devonshire, and Wales, than listed in their "Lists of Saints". SO I would prefer no reference to Saint in the title of the moved article and rather an better description of his sainthood in the body of the article. And that would bring it into line with the other articles on early Breton rulers who are also, here and there, "saints." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.65.176 (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
