In the introduction to the article it is stated that he "...was widely known in English by his Latinized name Gustavus Adolphus Magnus..."
Since the title Magnus (meaning the great) was given him two years after his death, he couldn't have been known to his contemporaries as Magnus, which the article now implies.
I have no suggestion for a better formulation of the sentence. -- Gunst ( talk) 20:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
No consensus to move. Vegaswikian ( talk) 22:22, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden → Gustavus Adolphus the Great – The articles of people listed as the great usually include the title in the name of the article. Alphasinus ( talk) 23:23, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I agree with SergeWoodzing, the move should not be made. Furthermore, naming should follow WP:RS and WP:COMMONNAME rather than being controlled by an inclusion in the list referred to, which by the way does not present any references for most of the entries. Tomas e ( talk) 10:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian ( talk) 16:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden → Gustav II Adolph of Sweden – Move to Gustav II Adolph of Sweden (English spelling) or Gustav II Adolf of Sweden (Swedish spelling)!
It's been 3 years: time to look at this again now.
His Latin name is Gustavus Adolphus Magnus.
The use in English of the first 2/3 of his Latin name was concocted as politically correct at one time (because of Hitler, I believe) but is now outdated. It has never been used as universally as e.g. Charlemagne.
All the other Swedish kings are called Gustav nowadays, not Gustavus. It is unnecessarily confusing to number all of them accordingly, but not this one. SergeWoodzing ( talk) 14:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Who is Johannes Burkhardt? Does his opinion really merit twenty lines of text in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensemaker ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Why does the article have two sections titled "Military commander"? They should be merged and/or retitled.-- Anders Feder ( talk) 13:36, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
