Talk:Marian antiphon

Move
Is there a lot more to say on this topic or should it just be merged into Antiphon (and become a redirect)? It will probably get more traffic there.--Sabrebd (talk) 08:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the suggestion, but there is in fact a lot more that could be said just on votive antiphons; Antiphon (in need of cleanup!) already has a section that properly belongs here. Sparafucil (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Which section is that?--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 21:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Agree Should be merged here as singular should be used as per WP:NAME.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 18:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Suggest not merging
The topic is separate and while a cross-reference to each other would be useful, when working on a liturgical issue, it's helpful not to have to wade through a longer discourse on antiphons generally, when all one might need is a text or a history of the function of the genre itself. I also agree that more could be said on this topic alone, which wouldn't be appropriate in the more general article on antiphons; the fact that it doesn't function in quite the same way as the others, and how and why, would be a good start...Dellaroux (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC) (sorry, I wasn't logged in before, thought I was!)


 * I agree with Dellaroux that antiphon by itself is a separate issue, but I think hymn is yet another idea as suggested below. History2007 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Marian hymns
Please see Talk:Hymns_to_Mary regarding a suggestion for bringing this material into hymns given that the major items are hymns anyway. And I think there is no need for having the text of the 4 antiphons here, given that each has it on its own page. Once that goes away, it will be a small page anyway and may fit well within hymns. Ideas? Thanks. History2007 (talk) 13:44, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree about the text, which is not needed here. I am going to take a little time to think about the merger proposal.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 14:15, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Fine. Take your time. These antiphons have been around for centuries, a few days does not make much difference. History2007 (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Any further ideas Sabre? History2007 (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I am fine with the merger, once the text has gone it will just make a small section, but just wondering how this should related to the Antiphon page.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 19:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, splendid. Now, there are only 2 ways we can relate to antiphon, either just put a link, or add a "also" hatnote. I do not mind either way. But let us move the text and then see what looks best. History2007 (talk) 20:45, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That's great. Lets go for the hatnote as readers might be going there looking for the specific topic.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 22:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
