I believe the references to the Vandals in this article are in error; so far as I know, the Vandals never campaigned in Gaul except to raid the southern coastal towns. Certainly, Alaric II, referred to as a "Vandal king" here, was actually a king of the Visigoths, and I would say that is also who they fought in the 463 battle as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.152.9.106 ( talk • contribs) 17:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
I am having a trouble attempting to answer the above question I had in mind. The articles including this and elsewhere mentions Domain of Soissons as being the last Roman enclave within Roman Gaul but it was never made clear if this is also the last Roman enclave of all within former Roman Empire. Is there any other Roman enclaves like this beyond Gaul at that point in the history? Just need to clear that up. Thanks. -- Legion 23:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was moved. -- BDD ( talk) 23:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Domain of Soissons → Kingdom of Soissons – It's what more sources use. "Domain" is very rare. An alternative, since the proposed title could refer to a later Merovingian creation, is Roman kingdom of Soissons, which is also in use. --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 03:02, 19 September 2013 (UTC) Srnec ( talk) 03:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.We aren't using bibliometry to make decisions for us, but it may be relevant that I find 193,000 Google results for "Domain of Soissons" and 103,000 for "Kingdom of Soissons", which would also include the Merovingian creation. "Roman Kingdom of Soissons" brings up 26,000. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 10:52, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
How would you feel about the idea of providing a disambiguation page at Kingdom of Soissons, rather than the current redirect, and a short article on the Merovingian Kingdom of Soissons? Even a stub would be useful. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 10:52, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I was thinking we could contact WP:CGR and WP:MA to generate more discussion. Any objections? Aldux ( talk) 19:41, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
