Traditional Armenian orthography → Classical Armenian orthography – More common and more accurate, see also Classical Armenian. Plus, in Armenian, it's called "դասական" dasakan, which is "classical", not "traditional". --Relisted. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 23:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)  Ե րևանցի  talk  21:24, 22 December 2013 (UTC) Google Books results

 * Oppose - There are many examples on Google UK page results:
 * "Traditional Armenian orthography" - 4,640,000 results
 * "Classical Armenian orthography" - 668,000 results Maurice07 (talk) 22:39, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Uhm. What does Google UK has to do with academia? Google Books is the prime resource for academic works widely used in such cases. -- Ե րևանցի talk  22:40, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment - OK. In my opinion,your references is not correct. Take a look at! Google Books:
 * "Traditional Armenian orthography" / 22 results
 * "Classical Armenian orthography" / 9 results Maurice07 (talk) 22:55, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Uhm, because you removed "-LLc -Wiki" from the search bar. Withour those two Google Books also searches in Wikipedia content. Take a look at the matches, the top one is a collection of Wiki articles: Traditional Armenian Orthography, Romanization of Armenian, Spelling reform of the Armenian language 1922-1924 And almost half of the rest is by the same author, Richard Hovannisian. He's a respected author, however, his usage of "Traditional Armenian orthography" doesn't make it more common. It's 58 vs 17 in my search, which is almost 3.5 times greater.   -- Ե րևանցի  talk  23:07, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Support - Case has been made, opposition seems based on some rather peculiar "evidence". Andrewa (talk) 00:40, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose . The suggested title alludes to Classical antiquity, and so is misleading.  The material is more recent, and "traditional" is the more appropriate word.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No, it does not. The language is called Classical Armenian, not Traditional Armenian, and this orthography is of that language. -- Ե րևանցի talk  19:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Support, to match Classical Armenian. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per nom Étienne Dolet (talk) 00:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "Classical" seems better than "Traditional", although none of them is reflecting the Armenian naming "Մեսրոպեան ուղղագրութիւն".--Zyzzzzzy (talk) 13:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
