The result of the proposal was not moved. This discussion was largely redundant to the one at Talk:President of the Church#Page move, which there was consensus against. Future attempts at this issue should be multi-moves or discussed at a more centralized location, such as Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Latter Day Saints). -- BDD ( talk) 17:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
President of the Church (LDS Church) → President of the Church – The WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "President of the Church" is that of the LDS Church President, not the broader Latter Day Saint movement. Secondary sources and the reality that the LDS Church accounts for over 98% of the Latter Day Saint movement point to this being the primary topic with the current article President of the Church under proposal to be moved to President of the Church (Latter Day Saint movement).

The article states "The President of the Quorum of the Twelve becomes the highest-ranking official in the church, and has always become the next church president" (emphasis added). This was not true prior to 1900 when the rule was changed.
In that year, President Lorenzo Snow changed the rule to prevent John Young from succeeding him. Young had never been a member of the Quorum of the Twelve so adding the Quorum requirement prevented Young's assuming the office. See Wikipedia on Snow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3E0B:BA00:B01B:B25A:CC18:C342 ( talk) 19:13, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
The title of this article, along with a provision at MOS:LDS, violates MOS:THEINST, a site-wide guideline which trumps WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. Please participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Latter Day Saints § Capitalization issue. Thanks. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 05:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
