Talk:Relics of Sariputta and Moggallana

Requested move 26 August 2017

The result of the move request was: consensus to move but no consensus as to the page title. The one that seemed like it had the least objections was Relics of Sariputta and Moggallana, so I've moved it there per WP:THREEOUTCOMES. No prejudice against a speedy renomination to try to sort out a consensus for a stable title. (non-admin closure) TonyBallioni (talk) 05:24, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Relics of Sariputra and Mahamoggallana → Relics of Sariputra and Maudgalyayana – The title is problematic mixture of two languages, Mahamoggallana being Pali language and Sariputra being Sanskrit. Propose to spell both names in Sanskrit. Maha is optional, and can be left out.

 * That's a good point about the mixture of languages. I'm not sure, I wonder whether it would be better to choose Pali, thus staying close to the forms used in the inscriptions, which (as cited in the article) are not in Sanskrit. That would give Relics of Sariputta and Mahamoggallana. You are correct that "Maha" is optional, but it seems to appear in the relevant inscription. Andrew Dalby 09:09, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Having read through the article again, I agree with you,.

 * Oppose - how about use Pali and drop the "Maha", which makes the word long and difficult for English speakers, and is entirely optional. The article should be at Relics of Sariputta and Moggallana, which is much more Anglophone-friendly, and equally accurate. Academicoffee71 (talk) 02:08, 20 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Move to alternative suggestion Relics of Sariputta and Moggallana. As a descriptive phrase title this ticks all the boxes, addressing valid concern of nom and improving Wikipedia. The two other proposed titles could both be created as redirects, not essential but possibly useful and no downside. Andrewa (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
