The result of the move request was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Calidum 01:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


– "Pontifical colleges in Rome" per WP:PRECISE, WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION; per WP:CONSISTENCY with Pontifical universities in Rome. As for individual pontifical colleges in Rome, sources seem to confirm English names as an alternative, per WP:CONSISTENCY with already most articles in Category:Roman Colleges: Pontifical Irish College, Pontifical North American College, Pontifical Latin American College, Pontifical Greek College of Saint Athanasius, Pontifical Croatian College of St. Jerome. While not all individual cases may provide overwhelming sources in favour, please consider weighting available sources taking into account as grouped proposal.

  • Oppose. These need to be considered on a case by case basis, as they should probably be in Latin. Slavish translation into English for the sake of it is never a good idea. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Are you arguing for WP:CONSISTENCY in Latin language across these articles? Preferable, I guess, if you can argue for that. PPEMES (talk) 14:04, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm arguing that there is no need for consistency at all. The most important thing is their common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"The most important". Conversely, for these rather interrelated entities, is there no merit at all in trying to reflect and weight in on the common name tendencies in sources categorically? PPEMES (talk) 14:28, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 27 July 2019

The result of the move request was: no consensus exists to move at this time, or that the current title isn't suitable. The sole support apart from the nominator supported weakly, however the take-away I get from this albeit brief discussion is that even if another title is more suitable, what that title should be is not clear, and I don't see another relist likely to garner a clear consensus. Thus, I'm closing this without prejudice - if things change in future a new RM can be opened.(closed by non-admin page mover) Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 15:11, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Colleges → Pontifical colleges in Rome – Per WP:PRECISE, WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION; per WP:CONSISTENCY with Pontifical universities in Rome. Per case by case suggestion in feedback above.

Support—I don't feel strongly either way, but it sounds reasonable to me. Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 17:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC) (see comment below) Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 05:41, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Are they all, in fact, "Pontifical"? Manannan67 (talk) 06:21, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen anyone that isn't. If you do, that can be excluded from the scope. PPEMES (talk) 07:26, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -Upon further review, this article cover colleges in Rome, some which are under the Holy See and grant degrees , and some that are not, and do not, but all traditionally considered "Roman Colleges" because of their location. There is a distinction between something like the Pontificia Ecclesiastica Academia, where the Holy See trains its diplomatic corps or Pontificio Collegio Romano, Rome's major seminary under the Bishop of Rome, who happens to be the pope, and the various national colleges located in Rome but run by their respective national bishops' conferences, which in many cases are primarily residence halls for students taking courses at universities in the area, and whose use of the term "pontifical", while historical, is largely honorary. The term "Roman" is used by Benigni, who certainly knew the difference, and could/would have used "Pontifical" if it applied. Capranica is the oldest Roman College but is not Pontifical. Manannan67 (talk) 03:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then how about Colleges in Rome? PPEMES (talk) 11:18, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's not bad, in that distinguishes these from the historic Jesuit "Roman College"; on the other hand, it would seem to also include all the secular schools. Maybe "Ecclesiastical Colleges in Rome"? Manannan67 (talk) 17:25, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly a minor improvement. I'd support that as third best, although if so I'd prefer "Catholic colleges in Rome". @CanonLawJunkie:? PPEMES (talk) 23:01, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@PPEMES: I think some of the difficulty arises from the distinction between continental "colleges" of the European model and American "colleges". "Catholic colleges" would seem to imply educational institutions in their own right, while the current title of "Roman colleges" better accords with the European college system of colleges as houses of formation, living, etc. I don't support the "Catholic colleges in Rome" title. Honestly, I'm not sure why the article's title need be changed. It's not like it says "Colleges in Rome" but only includes the Roman colleges. I think at this point, the article title should remain unchanged. Oppose renaming. Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 05:39, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild Support - The current name seems too ambiguous for those of us not in the know. We say "Pontifical universities are higher education ecclesiastical schools established or approved directly by the Holy See", and "approved" removes much of Manannan67's objection. If this is still though too broad, maybe "Pontifical colleges and seminaries in Rome". "Ecclesiastical Colleges in Rome" seems an unnecessary stepo towards vagueness.
