Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move Lord's Supper to Lord's Supper (disambiguation), ~~Eucharist to Lord's Supper~~. -- tariqabjotu 04:54, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Result amended to remove move of Eucharist, as there was no notification at Talk:Eucharist until July 23. -- tariqabjotu 09:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lord's Supper → Lord's Supper (disambiguation) – Eucharist is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Lord's Supper" (Lord's Supper should redirect to Eucharist). Several large branches of Christianity almost always refer to the Eucharist as the Lord's Supper. I don't think it is common at all for the other two items here to be called the "Lord's Supper".

Support move per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. St Anselm (talk) 20:33, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – This seems like a stretch for primarytopic. Dicklyon (talk) 23:43, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support move of Eucharist to Lord's Supper and a move of the disamb page to Lord's Supper (disambiguation), as per clear primary topic. The article discusses the Lord's Supper in multiple branches of Christianity, few of which use the word "Eucharist". Many branches of Protestantism use "Communion", but everyone can agree on Lord's Supper. Red Slash 06:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Red Slash. bd2412 T 12:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Red Slash's solution. "Lord's Supper" is a sort of WP:COMMONALITY. "Eucharist" may be used in some Protestant branches, but it's really not a term you'd find among evangelicals, for example. --BDD (talk) 17:28, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I support Red Slash's proposal per WP:COMMONALITY as there are several large branches of Christianity (even many non-Evangelicals) who never use "Eucharist" but I do not know of anyone who objects to "Lord's Supper". But if this fails I would still support the original proposal. I have left a message at Talk:Eucharist. I would request everyone be clear as to whether they support the primary proposal (making Lord's Supper redirect to Eucharist) as well as the secondary proposal (moving Eucharist to Lord's Supper) in case the secondary proposal fails. --JFH (talk) 22:44, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree that having two articles on the same subject is redundant; though I would prefer it to move in the opposite direction, I can see RedSlash's logic, and I defer to the term used by the greater number of Christians. - Ecjmartin (talk) 23:17, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Continued discussion[edit]

Please start/continue this discussion at Talk:Eucharist; this has nothing to do with this article, as there was consensus for the move of this page independent of what happens with Eucharist. -- tariqabjotu 09:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Oppose. This is a procedural error, as notice of the requested move and discussion was never posted to Talk:Eucharist and yet this article was affected by the so-called consensus here. Elizium23 (talk) 05:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree - but why do you oppose the move? St Anselm (talk) 06:35, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the procedural error after I performed the move. That being said, I wasn't sure if it was more or less disruptive to move it back so quickly, or wait for an actual objection (which actually still has not been provided, but never mind). Since we're on procedural errors, though, I would have appreciated it if you had either asked me to move the article back (which I gladly would have done) or at least notified me after you did so. Furthermore, this doesn't have anything to do with this page any longer, so any discussion about moving Eucharist should be at Talk:Eucharist. -- tariqabjotu 07:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose While I appreciate the motives for wanting to change from "Eucharist" to "Lord's Supper" I don't accept that the latter is a more "common name" ~ only that it is a more universal one. But that is not the same thing at all. "Lord's Supper" is, in fact, probably the most uncommonly used of the names for the sacrament. The vast majority of Christians are not Protestants (especially not the kinds of Protestants who prefer to use "Lord's Supper") and they don't commonly call the Eucharist the "Lord's Supper". The name for the sacrament that the great majority of Christians (Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Anglican) use in common is "Eucharist". Anglicanus (talk) 08:12, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
