Talk:The queen

I must disagree. "The Queen" ought to be redirected to Elizabeth II of the UK. Although very informal Her Majesty Elizabeth II is known as "the Queen" worldwide. Even other languages use the word "Queen" as a synonym for HM instead of th literal translation "Königin". --Camaeron 14:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Removed redirect to "queen" article. The term "The queen" would clearly not be used to search for information on many of the items listed. "queen" would suffice. There is only one item on this list that would generally be described as "The queen".--Bailrigg 22:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to move it back to "Queen". Margrethe and Beatrix will agree, I'm sure, and a century hence shall not see Elizabeth as the only Queen, I am sure. Gareth E Kegg 16:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Have you any sources that refer to Margrethe or Beatrix as "the Queen"? Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom's name has become synonymous with "the Queen" worldwide. Even if Margrethe and Beatrix are referred to as "the Queen", redirecting to this disambiguation page is ludicrous. Who would type in "the Queen" to look for the band...? As mentioned by Bailrigg Queen would suffice... --Camaeron 14:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd hardly say the term is used "world wide" to refer to EIIR; in the Anglosphere, perhaps, but that certainly isn't the entire planet. I thus agree with others here that it's a bit presumptuous to say the only person one could be looking for when typing in "the Queen" is EIIR. Further, there is already an article The Queen, which would be the proper way to refer to any current queen regnant or consort within her jurisdiction. --G2bambino 16:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The redirect to Queen is still there for that one - this one should be no different really - if we want a list of current Queens it should be called List of current Queens or somesuch. I will at least link Queen in this article, seeing as no one has thought of it.Stevebritgimp (talk) 19:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Redirected The queen to The Queen
I have created a separate article, List of current queens regnant to replace the info that was on here. I can't see any other reason for this article existing if The Queen (capitalised) redirects to Queen also. MickMacNee (talk) 01:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
