Talk:Fragmentology (manuscripts)

Move from original title "Fragmentology (manuscripts)"
AndrewnNJ (talk) moved this article from its original title "Fragmentology (manuscripts)" without first proposing the move and seeking comments as recommended Wikipedia practice. In fact, "Fragmentology" is a term which specifically concerns the location, identification, description and virtual reuniting of medieval and renaissance fragments often found in the bindings of later printed books. See, e.g., Lisa Fagan Davis, "Manuscript Road Trip: The Promise of Digital Fragmentology". The new proposed title "Manuscript fragment" is not appropriate for this article; it is a general term that could apply to any fragment of any manuscript, from greek papyrus to 21st century authors, and does not properly describe the limited subject matter of this article. For this reason, I am returning the article to its original name. If anyone thinks it should nevertheless be moved, please follow the procedure noted above of proposing the move and seeking comment. Thank you. Ecphora (talk) 18:40, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Reversion of move done. Please start a discussion as described at WP:RM if you wish to move the page. Sky  Warrior  19:45, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I moved around some sentences in the lead to make clear that the topic is the field of study of medieval/renaissance manuscript fragments. Ecphora (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It seems odd to have an article about a field whose subject (i.e. manuscript fragments) doesn't even have a Wikipedia article. If it does seem necessary to have an article on the study per se, could the title simply be 'Fragmentology' rather than 'Fragmentology (manuscripts)'? AndrewNJ (talk) 09:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I added "(manuscripts)" in the title just for clarification. The primary use of the word "fragmentology" is the study of medieval manuscript fragments, but I have seen it occasionally applied to a few other things such as medicine (troponin fragmentology).  I have no objection to using the shorter title "Fragmentology" and later adding a disam if ever needed. Ecphora (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
