Louis IX of FranceLouis IX – There are three articles on the English Wikipedia titled Louis IX. Of these, the French king has by far the most page views. I believe Louis IX of France to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Векочел (talk) 16:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, rather mildly. All the medieval French kings called Louis, Philip, John & Charles are "of France" in our article titles. Though the name Louis is no doubt especially associated with France, it does no harm to have extra clarity in the title. Plain "Louis IX" already redirects straight here. We also have Edward III of England etc. Johnbod (talk) 16:48, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The article should follow the "of France" style which we use for all French monarchs. Dimadick (talk) 18:05, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not for the earlier or later ones in fact! Johnbod (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Louis IX is very clearly the primary target, and we should consider consistency beyond just French monarchs; for instance, the English monarch Edward VI has no "of England", while discussion is ongoing at Edward IV of England to truncate that name. If that discussion ends up in a move, then I will support this proposed move in order to better achieve general consistency; if it does not end up in a move, then I will oppose this proposed move as there is no clear general practice, and local consistency is what we should be seeking.

  • Oppose – per WP:SOVEREIGN and WP:PRECISION. Mathglot (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose "of France" clarifies and improves recognizability. It is not straightforward, with the myriad of other possibilities. And Edward should be moved back to be "of England" too. Walrasiad (talk) 07:33, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose stupid quests for brevity that can benefit no reader, and creates ambiguity. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Opposeof Frace helps serve as natural disambiguation. Most monarchs are Monarch of Country. cookie monster 755 17:20, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Please, can we go back to the Monarch # of country style, of old. GoodDay (talk) 00:31, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - For reasons given above; "of France" is clear and concise. Manannan67 (talk) 19:23, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about Neutrality[edit]

I have deep concerns about the tone and neutrality of this article. It makes limited statements about the impact of his Islamophobic and antisemitic policies and actions, and frames such a fraught topic as the Crusades in a worryingly positive manner.

I think this article would benefit from being rewritten somewhat for a more neutral tone. Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 05:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is evident that you do not have any "concerns" about the neutrality of this article but stumbled upon it, decided it did not conform with your own bias and slapped a Neutrality banner onto it. 2A01:E0A:3D4:74C0:6926:A06F:7DD5:7545 (talk) 12:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
