Quote: Despite the early scandals of her marriage and eccentricities...which scandals? Have her lovers been censored away? This does not make sense if the scandals are not described.--85.226.42.172 (talk) 23:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 7 August 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Not surprised by this outcome. What I'm going to do is create two new move requests following this discussion. One: Maria Amalia of Austria → Maria Amalia, Holy Roman Empress. Second: Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria → Maria Amalia of Austria, Duchess of Parma. I'm thinking the first might SNOW, while the second might fail to reach consensus. Nonetheless, changing tack. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:47, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– These are two ambiguous titles and I have no idea why they are the way they are. They were both archduchesses. I have proposed dates as a simple and straightforward resolution, but since many Wikipedians do not like dates in titles I would propose as alternates Maria Amalia of Austria, Duchess of Parma and Maria Amalia (empress). Links should be fixed later, since the current titles should point to the dab page, Maria Amalia. Srnec (talk) 03:26, 7 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 05:01, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The reason these titles are the way they are is WP:NCROY. The titles of articles about queens and empresses consort are supposed to follow the [Name] of [Place] format while the articles about other royal women are to follow [Title] [Name] of [Place]. Thus Maria Amalia of Austria and Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria. That, of course, is inherently flawed and makes sense only to the Wikipedians who wrote that guideline and those who became used to it. Compare with Juliana of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, where WP:NCROY calls only for the consort to have a royal style in the title. Anyway, I would prefer the titles to the dates for the sake of recognizability (WP:NCDAB). Surtsicna (talk) 11:01, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Surtsicna's statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:301:8ccf:4cd3:512e:8365:3d70 (talk • contribs)
- My statement is clearly in support of the move, however. Surtsicna (talk) 10:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose using dates as disambiguators; WP:CONSORTS says "Deceased consorts are referred to by a name by which they are commonly known", so we don't have to stick with the current titles. Support something like Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma and Maria Amalia, Holy Roman Empress, as the titles by marriage are clearer disambiguators. DrKay (talk) 16:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. WP:NCROY is a funny hodgepodge of old ideas that produces silly results like this. NCROY obviously is not serving readers. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Both people were Archduchess of Austria. Both fail WP:PRECISE. Both need further disambiguation. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose first and keep as is per WP:NATURALDIS and WP:PRECISE. As for the second, I would support Maria Amalia of Austria → Maria Amalia, Holy Roman Empress per DrKay as the best concise and precise title available. Oppose year disambiguators, as they are unnecessary in this instance and are too close to each other to really differentiate the two characters. — Amakuru (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- But Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria is not precise or natural disambiguation. The word "archduchess" is no disambiguation at all because both were archduchesses. The empress was "Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria" as much as the duchess was. Surtsicna (talk) 22:48, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved to "Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma" (non-admin closure) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:03, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria → Maria Amalia of Austria, Duchess of Parma – In the recently no-consensus close for the move of this page, an alternative target of Maria Amalia of Austria, Duchess of Parma was proposed and met with some but limited support. This request initiates a new discussion related to this alternative move, in an attempt to reach consensus. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 04:02, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was clearly consensus in the previous RM for a move (only one unexplained oppose from an unregistered user). Support. Just fix it. Srnec (talk) 05:02, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- No, there was not a clear consensus. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:08, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:52, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support use of "Duchess of Parma" as a disambiguator, though Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma, is sufficient. DrKay (talk) 20:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma. I was going to close this requested move with a move to the shorter suggestion, but then I thought that might be a bit of a supervote, so I'll comment instead. The married name is a much clearer disambiguator and the shorter suggestion is more concise and is also more consistent with Maria Amalia, Holy Roman Empress. Full disclosure: I've just moved that article! Celia Homeford (talk) 12:53, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
