Rename?

It seems to me that "textual scholar" may be a bit too specific. Should it be "scholar" or "academic" ...? Hey User:Pharos, or User:Adam (Wiki Ed), is there a place where these guidelines exist on wiki? --Theredproject (talk) 22:57, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, the shorter and more generic the parenthetic disambiguation can be, the better. My vague impression is maybe "academic" is a bit more common on Wikipedia as a disambiguator, but "scholar" is closer to his specific field of study and may be better in this case.--Pharos (talk) 00:02, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Scholar works, but unless there is another academic with the same name, it should be either David Greetham (scholar) or David Greetham (academic). This policy governs renaming issues like this broadly. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:32, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current title seems correct (if a bit too specific), so there's no rush. When we decide on a title you can move the article likely without any controversy (let me know if you need a hand). Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:34, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
