Talk:Benedict of Nursia
From Academic Kids
This is a little confusing as Internet sources give both 543 (e.g New Advent) and 547 as the death date of Benedict. I wonder why the discrepancy and which is the correct one.
Shouldn't this article be at Saint Benedict of Nursia? I think it should be moved for the following reasons:
- The current title Benedict is ambiguous.
- Even Saint Benedict would be ambiguous (refer: Saint Benedict of Aniane).
- The title Benedict assumes no religous affiliation. People seeking information on any individual with a prefixed title of Saint are most likely looking for an individual with some religous affiliation.

- I agree. It really should be more specific. Should someone move it? That's alot of redirects to have to redo, and links to rewrite though. This page would have to be a disambiguation page, as would St. Benedict. I'll see if I can get a consensus. -R. fiend 07:41, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I agree too, and started formal proceedings. Przepla 23:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Support — This article should be at Benedict of Nursia, without the title Saint, and Benedict (disambiguation) should be moved here. Gareth Hughes 13:03, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I support this alternative proposal by Gareth Hughes. Jonathunder 00:51, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)

[edit]
St. Benedict
Should St. Benedict and Saint Benedict redirect here? It seems to me this one is far and away the most popular St. Benedict, and the one most people will be looking for by that title. A disambiguation header at the top could point to the other 2 in those cases when he isn't the one being searched for. -R. fiend 03:26, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Either way is fine to me really. violet/riga (t) 08:37, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
