Swami in article titles
editI noticed this afternoon that the naming convention for articles with Swami is not consistent, with advocates on both sides. It seems random to me which pages have consensus for which. The meta question being, does it matter to the overall quality of Wikipedia that they're inconsistent? These are the ones I came across casually:
Without Swami:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chinmayananda_Saraswati
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Satyananda_Saraswati
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vishnudevananda_Saraswati
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chinmayananda_Saraswati
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sivananda_Saraswati
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vijnanananda

Honorific
editPerhaps I am missing one of core Wikipedia guidelines, but someone could help me with a specific confusion I have. Whereas I see "King" and "Queen" appear before names for Western monarchs, why is "Maharaja" or "Maharani" supposed to be "questioned"? Rustyshackelford (talk) 16:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
