Talk:De Coelesti Hierarchia

Name change
I propose that the namespace for this article be changed to "Celestial Hierarchy"; first of all because this is English Wikipedia, and second of all because the work was originally written in Greek, the Latin title is only a translation (and the translation is not the subject of the article).

De Coelesti Hierarchia → Celestial Hierarchy – As suggested previously, this is a page for an influential work written in Ancient Greek, most commonly referred to by its English name in Anglophone writing. There is a redirect page at this title at the moment but it has minimal useful material.

 * Move to The Celestial Hierarchy as the most common English name: e.g. . (See also Naming conventions (use English).) StAnselm (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose (note: was the person who changed the Celestial Hierarchy redirect to point to the disambig page). People who talk about the "celestial hierarchy" don't mean one extremely obscure apocryphal book, they really mean "angelology".  No objection if the article is moved to "The Celestial Hierarchy", or even something like Celestial Hierarchy (Pseudo-Dionysius), but it's not the primary topic of "celestial hierarchy".  (And strongly disagree that the disambiguation page has "no useful material" - disambig pages don't have material by nature, but I suspect the links there are to more relevant articles than this one.)

 * Oppose as written, per SnowFire. If the Latin title is unacceptable, I would suggest On The Celestial Hierarchy as an accurate and unambiguous English title. Tevildo (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:20, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Unqualified Oppose and maintain status quo. Changing my opinion to encourage closure of this RM, as it seems unlikely that any consensus to move will be reached. Tevildo (talk) 19:56, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
