Talk:Parthenon Marbles

The current title "Parthenon Marbles" is being redirected to main title "Elgin Marbles". It should be the other way around. The title of the main page should be "Parthenon Marbles" and "Elgin Marbles" should be redirected to main "Parthenon Marbles" page. However, there is so much controversy for the Marbles, that even a requested "move" that was initiated under the "Elgin Marbles" heading to change the name did not get a consensus. The proposed alternatives are to either: a) Include both names on the title. For example "Parthenon Marbles or Elgin Marbles", "Parthenon Marbles - Elgin Marbles". b) Keep both titles pages with no redirect, and use the same content for both pages. A short explanation on top of the page should acknowledge the dual heading. I am sure this is technically possible. --Thanos7v (talk) 03:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Article already exists at the common English name, no further moves or redirects necessary or appropriate. Canterbury Tail   talk  12:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * The Parthenon is not stupid.
 * The Parthenon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒn, -nən/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενών; Greek: Παρθενώνας, Parthenónas) is a former temple[4][5] on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron.

 * Also, Elgin marble is a local biased denomination for what is known as Parthenon Marbles in Europe. Great-Britain being smaller than Europe makes this local colonial name less significant than the original one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.185.254.117 (talk) 20:54, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
