Talk:St Paul's Church, Brighton

Requested move
Church of St Paul, Brighton → Church of St Paul, Brighton — Church of St. Paul, Brighton —Vox Humana 8' 14:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The page should stay without the point. Officially, British English abbreviates Saint to St, not St. ! -- Beardo 20:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Beardo, and that other websites designate as St Paul. If it was in the US, it'd be a different story because of American-English, but since the subject of the article is in England, we should keep at same title.  Cool Blue  talk to me 01:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * With move requests, it's actually "Support" or "Oppose". It's AFD's that use Keep/Delete.
 * Oppose I don't understand why, but British spelling doesn't use periods for abbreviations (so they would write "Mr Smith" rather than "Mr. Smith) and this is a church in the UK. TJ Spyke 02:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In formal British English, the stop/period is used to denote omitted letters - it is not used where only letters in the middle are omitted - that is, the last letter of the original word is also the last letter of the abbreviation. Thus Mister -> Mr, Saint -> St, but Captain -> Capt. with a point. -- Beardo 20:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 17:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
