[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was Albert of Riga.
Albrecht von Buxthoeven → Albert of Riga– This individual is most often known in English simply as "Bishop Albert", or as "Albert of Riga" or "Albert of Livonia". The current title is not even the most commonly used in German, let alone English. Olessi 05:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- Support. "Bishop Albert of Riga" is more common than "Bishop Albert of Livonia," and, despite the overwhelming preference of the sources surveyed below for "Bishop Albert," I think it is more appropriate in general to give the names of persons without any titles (though this is certainly not the practice of English Wikipedia when it comes to Popes—we should probably follow the example of apparently every other language Wikipedia except for Portuguese, and remove "Pope" from the titles of those artcicles, too, keeping it in parentheses afterwards if needed for disambiguation). Wareh 19:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Right. I wasn't suggesting "Bishop Albert" as a title, merely that he is usually known without the "of Bux..." added. If you'd like to suggest changes to the papal naming system, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Western clergy) would be the best place to start, I think. Olessi 02:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
Add any additional comments
Here is a series of Google Web and Google Books searches to help determine how this individual has usually been referred to in English. Along with the simple "Bishop Albert", the searches for "Albert of Riga" and "Albert of Livonia" give by far the most relevant data. Names including a variation of "Bexhövede" have been used much less frequently. Olessi 05:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
