Mistake in title

[edit]

Having worked on the italian page I was made aware that there is a mistake in the name of this page. All italian sources on the italian page state that the correct name is Candida Medina Coeli which became Candida Lena Perpenti after marrying Giovanni Lena Perpenti. [1] I think the mistake came from a single source linked to Harvard University [2] where they mentioned erroneously a Helena Perpenti mistakenly confusing her foreign surname with a name. The mistake propagated in many linguistic versions. @Rosguill:, @TheBritinator:, @Theroadislong:, @Killarnee: Could you help me correct also this problem ;). Thanking you in advance Bettylella (talk) 11:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two of the articles sources call her Maria Candida Medina Coeli. Theroadislong (talk) 11:21, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, but one article source is posterior to the wiki page and might have been using it as a reference. The dozen sources I have referred to in the Italian page call her Candida Medina Coeli, or more frequently, with her married surname Candida Lena Perpenti. In the link I put above is her eulogy referring to her tombstone (see page 67). As you know, the correct naming in Wiki.En is important as it is the most read one.

So what exactly do you want it renamed to? TheBritinator (talk) 14:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, we will use the most frequent name used in the references, Candida Lena Perpenti. Bettylella (talk) 16:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bettylella: I do recommend opening a move request. Killarnee (talk) 20:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Someone will get it then. TheBritinator (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
