Saint Seachnall →
Secundinus — I've been in some doubt whether the article title should be the saint's name in Irish, Sechnall, or the (original) Latin name Secundinus. They are the two names which are most commonly found in reliable secondary literature and so those to be preferred per
WP:Article title /
WP:RS. After some further research (hence the expansion of the article), I must conclude that the balance of usage is in favour of "Secundinus". I don't think this would be a controversial move, but an editor has recently moved the article to its current title "Saint Seachnall", i.e. the title Saint + the Modern Irish version of the name. However, (1) the title Saint is unnecessary here and in fact, discouraged by our
guidelines in such contexts, and (2) the Modern Irish name, though no doubt of some local importance, is rarely used in
RS. A redirect with a brief page history currently obstructs the move, so an admin is needed here.

Why was this page moved from its original name of Saint Seachnall? He is commonly known as Saint Seachnall, most particularly in the village named after him, Domhnach Seachnaill, where the school, church, housing estates and much else are named 'Seachnall'. This, by any standard, must make it the common name. 86.45.62.19 ( talk) 01:36, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
