[edit]

I've requested the redirect Church of St David, Llanthony be deleted to allow this article to move there. Apart from British Listed Buildings, the church seems to be widely known as simply St David's Church, Llanthony. The "at" is certainly wrong based on Wikipedia's normal naming protocol.

Very happy for you, or anyone else, to rename. I lifted it from the main Grade I listed buildings in Monmouthshire page, in order to preserve the link but if both can be renamed, that's fine. Unfortunately, it's beyond my feeble powers.KJP1 (talk) 11:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
For info: BLBO calls it "Church of St David at Llanthony Priory, Crucorney" [1] Is it from this that the original phrasing was drawn? KJP1 (talk) 12:01, 10 April 2016 (UTC) - Apologies, I see you know this already.[reply]
Almost the building names in Wikipedia's "Grade I listed buildings in... " and "Grade II* listed buildings in... " lists (apart from those created before the automisation) are pulled from BLB/cadw, as far as I'm aware. BLB lists buildings according to civil parish, hence the Crucorney location (which covers Llanthony). I concede that it was good for the lists to be created, even if in an automated fashion, but it's a constant process now of correcting locations and redlinking buildings to a more suitable article title.
This is all no criticism of you, of course, for going ahead and creating the article ;) Sionk (talk) 13:09, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And none was taken! It's very helpful advice and I shall bear it in mind if I create any more in support of the good doctor's Dragon project. But I'm afraid I lack the wikiskills to rename this one. Thanks and best regards. KJP1 (talk) 13:25, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
