 * Before moving this article again please read the top of the official policy on WP:NAME. Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. Another way to summarize the overall principle of Wikipedia's naming conventions: Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists.


 * See, here's the thing. No-one outside specialists ever referred to Tom Winning as 'Thomas Cardinal Winning'. He is invariable known as Tom Winning, Cardinal Winning, or Thomas Winning
 * Google "Thomas Cardinal Winning" = 48 hits (NOT impressive)
 * Google "'Thomas Winning' and Cardinal" = 9,450
 * Google "Cardinal Winning" = 17,200
 * BBC obituary 'Cardinal Thomas Winning'
 * His own Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow 'Thomas Joseph Winning' or 'Cardinal Winning'
 * I'd say that's pretty conclusive. Your western clergy guideline is obviously not in conformity with policy - perhaps you should update it?. --Doc 23:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

His Eminence
Do we need to put the title "His Eminence" before every bishop's name on Wikipedia? Catholics may choose to do so, but this doesn't sound very secular/encyclopedic to me. Allowing this practice seems a bit like allowing Muslims to put the phrase "Peace be upon him" after every mention of a prophet. -- Big Brother 1984 18:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

'Eminence' is a title for cardinals only. Ulysses54 13:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
