[edit] Article name

Should this item not be named "St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh" rather than Cobh Cathedral? Coolavokig 13:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:NAME says "generally, article naming should prefer what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize". Isn't this best known as Cobh Cathedral? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

To some people perhaps, but to many others it is St. Colman's and that is it's official name. Also note that anyone researching their family history from abroad might not know that the town their grandparents spoke about was renamed Cobh in 1920. I know my grandparents often referred to Cobh as Queenstown even though they were fierce republicans. St. Colman's covers both possibilities. Coolavokig 09:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
