Talk:Claude of Valois

Daughter, Anne
Could someone fix the death date for Anne. The current dates say she died at the age of 107.

Yes, could some please fix that? I can't find the real date anywhere.

RfC about the page title
Should this be page be moved to a different location such as "Claude of Valois" or "Claude, Duchess of Lorraine"? As far as I could see, the main source for the article only ever refers to her as "Claude" or "Claude, Duchess of Lorraine" although I'm aware the spouses of other Dukes of Lorraine are not given a page title featuring "Duchess of Lorraine". Although two are. This does seem to perhaps be a bit of a WP:CONSISTENCY issue even if it is quite low priority. I think moving the article to either of the other titles would reduce confusion with her grandmother Claude of France. KingUther (talk) 15:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Claude, Duchess of Lorraine The source material does call her Claude of France, with the qulaifier that she was the duchess of Lorraine. Since there's another woman by that name, this suboptimal disambig happened. It doesn't matter, because I doubt the subject is notable.

 * Procedural close – Can we just discuss first, without going straight for the formality of an Rfc?  This Talk page has never been archived or had any deletes: what you see here now, is everything that's ever been said here since 2007.  See WP:RFCBEFORE.  Mathglot (talk) 06:20, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Agree with Claude, Duchess of Lorraine. cinco deL3X1  ◊distænt write◊  15:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with Claude, Duchess of Lorraine too. This is how she is described in R J Knecht's biography of her mother ("Catherine De' Medici", by R J Knecht, published by Longman,1998). Philifoot (talk) 19:50, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The target is a disambiguation page, indicating that more than one person has been known as Claude, Duchess of Lorraine. Dekimasu よ! 07:12, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It is not clear from that page that the other subject listed on the page was known as "Claude, Duchess of Lorraine". Relisting for further examination. bd2412  T 19:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There are two Ducheses of Lorraine named "Claude" who are listed upon the Claude, Duchess of Lorraine disambiguation page. One is listed as Claude Françoise de Lorraine, which is nearly the same as French Wikipedia's main header Claude-Françoise de Lorraine. It would thus seem intuitive to also use French Wikipedia's main header, Claude de France, for the article under discussion, currently titled Claude of France (1547–1575). Since English Wikipedia's Claude Françoise de Lorraine entry already uses "de" in the main header, using "de", rather than "of" in Claude of France (1547–1575) → Claude de France, Duchess of Lorraine would depict the analogous form "de" in the main headers for both Claudes.

 * Support per nom. The new name is much better. Mast303 (talk) 04:47, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sure how the above user supported when the nom did not offer any clue as to why "Valois" is the correct name without me needing to read an entire article or check every single reference there. Gonnym (talk) 13:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Gonnym@BilledMammal pinging you both as this is a response to relisting comment. "Valois" is a better disambiguator than "of France" primarily because there is already Claude of France. Furthermore, most daughters of the Valois kings are given the designation "of Valois" rather than "of France", such as Elisabeth of Valois, Margaret of Valois, Duchess of Berry and Madeleine of Valois. Removing the years and disambiguating by changing "of France" to "of Valois" also makes the name more WP:CONCISE. Estar8806 (talk) 17:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That explanation helps much better understand your nomination now. Gonnym (talk) 19:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. The name Valois is used for some of her family members as well. Векочел (talk) 15:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Relisting comment: Arguments explaining why "Valois" is a better disambiguator than "France" would help determining consensus BilledMammal (talk) 08:07, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
