Name too long?

[edit]

Maybe the name is a little too long?--Codrin.B (talk) 02:57, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could be. In general, we do [Cathedral name, city]. (See for instance here or here.) On the other hand, it's probably the only cathedral on earth called "unity of the people", so the "Alba Iulia" isn't strictly necessary. Since there's a Roman Catholic cathedral in the same city, we could call them Alba Iulia Orthodox Cathedral and Alba Iulia Roman Catholic Cathedral, though the latter will probably end up as Saint Michael's Cathedral, Alba Iulia. - Biruitorul Talk 04:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move to obsolete name

[edit]

Why was the article moved to the current title? The place of worship doesn't seem to have an established English name, however "Coronation Cathedral" doesn't seem to be used officially: in English, the city administration calls it The Reunification Cathedral, while the official (i.e. government-supported) tourist guide to Romania calls it Orthodox Cathedral of the Reunification. In Romanian, the Orthodox Bishopric calls it Orthodox Archiepiscopal Cathedral], while the Romanian gvt calls it the Reunification Cathedral [1] [2], as does the Romanian Parliament [3]. Why use a name last officially used more than half a century ago? Anonimu (talk) 20:20, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't have a firm opinion on the title, as long as it's used somewhere at present. (I suppose Alba Iulia Orthodox Cathedral might also work.) According to this, "Coronation Cathedral" has come back into use. What I do want is a stable title: I want to make some modifications to the text as regards the name, and I can't do that properly if the title keeps changing. So please, either move elsewhere or use WP:RM to get a firmer consensus, but let's have stability. - Biruitorul Talk 21:16, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
