Is Low Sunday ever called Whit Sunday ?

Not that as far as I am aware. It certainly does not say so in the citation provided, unless one is prepared to accept "Dominica in albis" as being the same as Whitsun, which I personally would find perverse. 128.86.151.116 ( talk) 16:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
If it always falls on 15 May then it cannot always be a Sunday. Why this discrepancy? Drutt ( talk) 00:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. In actuality the DAB page is already at Whitsunday so nothing further has to be done. There may be some leftover questions where no consensus has yet been formed: e.g. how to connect Whitsunday articles to Pentecost articles. On the DAB page at Whitsunday you can find a link to Whitsun but it's hard to see, considering its importance. The DAB contains bluelinks for both Whitsun and Pentecost on the same line. Does this break any rules? Pentecost might be split out onto its own line to avoid this. Maybe Whitsun should get a hat note telling the reader about the DAB page, currently at Whitsunday.

Whitsunday →
Whitsunday (disambiguation) – Globaly, the primary usage of "Whitsunday" is to refer to Pentecost Sunday. It is
WP:PRIMARYUSAGE of Whitsunday. Whitsunday is used by both Anglican Churches and English speakers in every country of the world. Whitsunday leads to
Whit Monday, a widespread holiday across Europe. Outside of Australia, when people refer to Whitsunday they are primarily referring to the Christian holy day, one of four Embertides. All the other uses listed here derive from that original usage. Why is Whitsunday, Queensland called Whitsunday? Because of the Christian holy day. Much like
Easter Island,
Christmas Island, and
Michaelmas Island were named after their respective
Embertides. Therefore this page's information should be moved to
Whitsunday (disambiguation) and then this page should be redirected to
Whitsun. (Perhaps we should discuss renaming "Whitsun" to "Whitsunday" or merging Whitsun into
Pentacost but that is a separate discussion. First let's resolve the
WP:PRIMARYUSAGE question before tackling
WP:CommonName and
WP:Merging discussions.)

So what was the point of the move discussion if nothing was done? We now have the situation where the term "Whitsunday" brings you here and "Whit Sunday" takes you to the Whitsun article. Should the "Whit Sunday" redirect point here? Richerman (talk) 16:22, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
That was ... not the consensus. I have now pointed it to Whitsun, as consensus was showing. Red Slash 17:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
