Removal of PROD
User:Sagaciousphil - any reason for removing PROD? Or no? AusLondonder (talk) 22:46, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * As I pointed out on the AfD, which I see has been closed as a 'snow keep', there is no requirement to provide a reason for removing a PROD. SagaciousPhil  - Chat 08:39, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I know. It's called good practice. Maybe if you'd explained I wouldn't have nominated for AFD. AusLondonder (talk) 16:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Title
It appears according to DeCosta, that the original name of the organization was White Cross and later named White Cross League.

That leaves us several options for a title.


 * 1) One option is the original name "White Cross" which would require little work given the disambiguation page at Whitecross (disambiguation)
 * 2) Another is "White Cross League", the name it was known by after 1891.
 * 3) Another is "White Cross army", which is mentioned in DeCosta but with a lowercase a
 * 4) Stick with "White Cross Army" (see below)

There may be other options. I was tempted to move this article to White Cross army, but decided it might be better to get views from others in case one of these options or yet another option is the best choice.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  02:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

In contrast, the publication "Seeking & Saving" (a monthly pamphlet produced by the organisation, refers to "White Cross Army", so that's one source supporting the existing capitalization.
 * I'd just leave it as it is: White Cross Army. SagaciousPhil  - Chat 08:39, 13 November 2015 (UTC) I went to bed immediately after removing the PROD, so thanks to everyone who has worked on the article while I slept!
 * There are hundreds of articles in the BNA and most seem to use either WHITE CROSS ARMY or White Cross Army. After 1900 there are about 400 hits for White Cross League. According to it was called White Cross Army in America in 1887 but thissays  it became just White Cross later. I would leave it as it is with a redirect from White Cross League and we can then give the different names in the first line.  Richerman    (talk) 10:53, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback from both of you, sounds like the best option is the easiest option :) -- S Philbrick (Talk)  16:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
