Roman Catholic education → Catholic education – Per WP:Consistency with Catholic Church, Catholic theology, Talk:Catholic Church in Armenia, etc. Chicbyaccident (talk) 17:40, 8 August 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

• Oppose certainly true of Capital C, but a "catholic education" small-c is something else entirely. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:36, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose. This is an interesting case, and the consistency argument might now be relevant to the naming of other articles cited by nom. But catholic education is unacceptably ambiguous for this one. Andrewa (talk) 18:44, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support. "Catholic education" never refers to anything else, and Catholic education already redirects here. The move removes the deprecated and unnecessary "Roman" and is more WP:CONSISTENT with the main Catholic Church article and the many others that have been moved thru RM. Other examples include this, this, this, this, and this.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:00, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support per consistency (i.e. Catholic Church). English Wikipedia is moving towards changing all 'Roman Catholic' titles to 'Catholic', thanks in large part to Chicbyaccident, and this one is consistent with that trend. And as Cuchullain mentions, the proposed name is already a redirect to the page so no other definition for the term exists, as far as I know, on-site. The 'Catholic' in the name should be capitalized consistently as well, as the meaning does change when lower-cased. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:47, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support per Cuchullain. I don't see a pressing reason to deviate from WP:CONSISTENCY. No such user (talk) 14:56, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support per WP:COMMONNAME. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 16:49, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support per WP:CONSISTENCY. "Catholic" is both more common and more official than "Roman Catholic." Great scott (talk) 19:11, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
• Comment: See also: Talk:Lutheran–Roman_Catholic_dialogue. Chicbyaccident (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support add myself to the chorus: I'm normally more nuanced when things could plausibly be broken out between particular churches of the Catholic Church, but they can't here in English. Catholic Education only refers to this topic when used in the English-language. Adding Roman is massively out of step with COMMONNAME. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:51, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
