Article name[edit]

I suggest to name this article Council election cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, because it's a good overview of all of them, and nobody will look for "lost" when searching. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, expand the section intro of Church cantata (Bach)#New council a bit and make Council election cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach a redirect to that section. For comparison (quoting only updated BWV numbers: the older Anh. numbers etc do the same redirects):

currently redirecting to Lost council election cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach:

These are all "lost council election cantatas" by Bach

currently not redirecting to Lost council election cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach
- BWV 71
- BWV 119
- BWV 1139.2
- BWV 193.2
- BWV 120.1
- BWV 29
- BWV 137
- BWV 69.2

These are either not lost or not a council election cantata (or neither while based on a 19th-century misunderstanding). I don't think these should redirect here: the article has too little explanation on them and/or they already have a separate article.

In sum, the article title fits the article's current content, and the article would need more explanation on the extant ones to be viable under the Council election cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach title (imho, that is). --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and initiated the redirect per my suggestion above. --Francis Schonken (talk) 06:31, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
