The content has been merged with the incorrectly spelt article 'Sumela Monastrey'. That article should be deleted. There is still work to be done to improve the content - particularly the section regarding buildings. Rob cowie 13:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Frescoes

The frescoes have all been vandalized. Not damaged because of movement.--68.91.95.183 (talk) 09:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure if "damaged because of movement" was what was being said by the text in the article (it may have been trying to say that parts of the frescoes have been removed entirely) - but it is correct to say that there had been no damage due to movement and so, for clarity, I have removed that vague text that seemed to be saying that there was such damage.

In general, the sources in the article, a Google book search of books published in the last quarter-century or thereabouts, and a selection of other encyclopaedias, should all be examples of reliable sources; if all three of them use a term, then that is fairly conclusive.

It seems that the non-diacritics version "Sumela Monastery" is much more frequent in GBooks. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I would also support a move from Soumela to Sumela. Cavann (talk) 02:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

My own Gbooks search shows 1450 hits for "Sumela" [1], 1150 for Soumela [2] and only 110 for Sümela [3], of which the first 3 are false positives (Books LLC). Athenean (talk) 03:54, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

On GScholar I get 145 hits for Sumela/Sümela [4] (impossible to separate the two, but "Sumela" does seem much more common than "Sümela"), and 85 hits for Soumela [5]. Athenean (talk) 03:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Based on this, I Oppose the move to "Sümela", but would be ok with either "Sumela" or "Soumela". Athenean (talk) 04:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I used quotation marks. That could explain the difference. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 04:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Excellent. We all agree on "Sumela" then. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 04:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Actually, several of the sources that has been used as an argument for "Sümela", use "Sumela" in their body text, so it would seem that "Sumela" is the overwhelmingly most used spelling. Go for it! --79.160.40.10 (talk) 07:39, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: Since, it's an Orthodox monastery, known as such by the Patriarchate and most important by the western world.Alexikoua (talk) 16:44, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Sumela Monastery is a Greek Orthodox monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Maçka district of Trabzon Province, Turkey. Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) facing the Altındere valley, it is a site of great historical and cultural significance, as well as a major tourist attraction within Altındere National Park.Photograph: Bjørn Christian Tørrissen
