Move

Is there a lot more to say on this topic or should it just be merged into Antiphon (and become a redirect)? It will probably get more traffic there.--Sabrebd (talk) 08:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the suggestion, but there is in fact a lot more that could be said just on votive antiphons; Antiphon (in need of cleanup!) already has a section that properly belongs here. Sparafucil (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which section is that?--SabreBD (talk) 21:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Agree Should be merged here as singular should be used as per WP:NAME.--SabreBD (talk) 18:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest not merging

The topic is separate and while a cross-reference to each other would be useful, when working on a liturgical issue, it's helpful not to have to wade through a longer discourse on antiphons generally, when all one might need is a text or a history of the function of the genre itself. I also agree that more could be said on this topic alone, which wouldn't be appropriate in the more general article on antiphons; the fact that it doesn't function in quite the same way as the others, and how and why, would be a good start...Dellaroux (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC) (sorry, I wasn't logged in before, thought I was!)[reply]

I agree with Dellaroux that antiphon by itself is a separate issue, but I think hymn is yet another idea as suggested below. History2007 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marian hymns

Please see Talk:Hymns_to_Mary regarding a suggestion for bringing this material into hymns given that the major items are hymns anyway. And I think there is no need for having the text of the 4 antiphons here, given that each has it on its own page. Once that goes away, it will be a small page anyway and may fit well within hymns. Ideas? Thanks. History2007 (talk) 13:44, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about the text, which is not needed here. I am going to take a little time to think about the merger proposal.--SabreBD (talk) 14:15, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Take your time. These antiphons have been around for centuries, a few days does not make much difference. History2007 (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any further ideas Sabre? History2007 (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with the merger, once the text has gone it will just make a small section, but just wondering how this should related to the Antiphon page.--SabreBD (talk) 19:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, splendid. Now, there are only 2 ways we can relate to antiphon, either just put a link, or add a "also" hatnote. I do not mind either way. But let us move the text and then see what looks best. History2007 (talk) 20:45, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. Lets go for the hatnote as readers might be going there looking for the specific topic.--SabreBD (talk) 22:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
