This article shouldn't be named "Spanish match" as Elizabeth contemplated same, earlier

It is not a good idea to have an article called X linked to a specific moment in time, when X occurred previously and repeatedly, earlier in time. For example each of Arthur Tudor Prince of Wales, Henry VIII, Mary I, and Elizabeth I considered or did a "Spanish match" before the accession of James and the content of this article.

For this reason it is a mistake to call this article what it is presently called. It would be like calling a hypothetical and imaginary new crisis in Cuba related to missiles, in the year 20xx "Cuban Missile crisis" when another prior actual non-hypothetical Cuban Missile Crisis has already occured in the year 19xx.

If all of Wikipedia worked this way, that the creators and editors of this article have chosen to implement this article, then, the entire encyclopedia would be more confusing and less correct, or: just broken. So let's not do that. 2600:4040:5AEF:B400:5363:34E9:3557:8030 (talk) 13:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
