Talk:Phyllis and Aristotle

Move to Phyllis and Aristotle

The current title is unwieldy and not something that anyone would be likely to search for. "Phyllis and Aristotle" is a much less clunky title, in my view, although I am open to other suggestions. Regardless of what we change it to, we should definitely remove the definitive article at the beginning of the title, which I believe is a violation of our standard naming conventions, because, if I remember correctly, somewhere in our policy, it states that the word "the" should only be included at the beginning of the title of an article if the article is named after a work with a specific title and the definitive article is a necessary part of that title. Since "the tale of Phyllis and Aristotle" is not a title, nor is the "the" necessary, it should definitely be removed. --Katolophyromai (talk) 19:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

• Support though "Aristotle and Phyllis" seems almost as popular, and is certainly more typo-proof up to the suggest-a-thingie taking over. Johnbod (talk) 22:17, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, the current title is certainly a correct and intelligible description, and the other candidates already redirect here, so it's a bit of a storm-in-a-teacup thingy, all the likely search terms work already. Both other titles exist, as does Lai d'Aristote (though that only covers a part of the content), not to mention Aristoteles und Phyllis. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:24, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
