Benedictine Reform → English Benedictine reform – The Benedictine reform movement was Europe wide, so this title should be used for an article on the whole movement, and using it for the branch in England is wrong and insular. It is given various names, but English Benedictine reform seems to me the best, and it is used by one of the most important books on the subject by Mechtild Gretsch, which I have added to further reading. I also suggest not capitalising 'reform' as this seems to be the usual practice on Wikipedia. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:40, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm fine except I'd cap "Reform". Ealdgyth - Talk 20:17, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I am OK with capping "Reform". I suggested lower case because of my experience when an editor moved Local Nature Reserve to Local nature reserve. I objected because it is an official British designation which is capitalised in the sources, but I lost the argument. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:26, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Sounds sensible to me, and I nearly just went ahead and did it - but hesitated. Given the very brief nature of this article, would it be better merged into Cluniac Reforms or some such?  GoldenRing (talk) 05:21, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I am reading up on the subject to expand the article. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:26, 3 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Support. Perhaps the English article and the Cluniac articles hould be sub-articles of a general article on Benedictine reforms (there were several in Middle Ages)? Srnec (talk) 19:47, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I do not think the English article should be a sub-article. It is about a very important movement in Anglo-Saxon England and I hope - eventually - to get it to FAC. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:10, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I will proceed with the move and change this article to a redirect to Cluniac Reform. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:01, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
