Name change[edit]

This article was recently moved from Aghadoe Cathedral to Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Aghadoe. I wasn't able to find any reference referring to this cathedral as the "Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity." I know that the cathedral was dedicated to the "Holy Trinity," but I'm not sure that the cathedral was ever referred to by its dedication. I know that churches are now commonly referred to by their dedication, but I think it might be anachronistic to assume that was the case here. The article should use the most common name for the cathedral ("Aghadoe Cathedral") or at least another documented name. Even assuming the dedication should be used for the name, I couldn't find any basis for including the "Most" in the title.--Bkwillwm (talk) 03:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The name should be changed back to Aghadoe Cathedral for the following reasons.

  • There is no evidence anywhere that it is named that, in any era.
  • The JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND (1860) refers to the place as Aghadoe Cathedral.
  • The National Monuments listing from the Office of Public Works lists it as Aghadoe Cathedral.
  • The only mention of the of "Aghadoe" with "Cathedral of the Holy Trinity" (without Most) is in the Irish Church Directory from the 1860s, but that is Church of Ireland not Catholic and is referring to another church.
  • A local history of Nunstown ( the townland where the cathedral is) states that the church "at Aghadoe was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St. Mary", but has no mention if that being its name[1].
  • Dozens of other organisations and companies refer to it only as Aghadoe Cathedral.

I suggest we change it back until consensus is reached for a change.--Dmol (talk) 07:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC) [reply]
