Name of this page

[change source]

Hi all. This page's naming is a bit strange, I think it needs reworking. First of all, the article is called Uranos but the first word is Ouranos. If you take a look at the English Wikipedia page, the article is called Uranus (mythology), saying that the God's name is sometimes written as Ouranos. I believe that the name of this page should be consistent. Should the page be renamed or should the summary be rewritten slightly? Belwine💬📜 20:50, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Ancient Greek name is Οὐρανός ('Ouranos'), the name 'Uranos' and 'Uranus' are also common. So in his theogony, Hesiod probably used 'ouranos'--Eptalon (talk) 21:54, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Rewritten to make name consistent throughout the article.Peterdownunder (talk) 22:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Peterdownunder @Eptalon @Andre Engels - This article (and its partner Uranus (mythology)) were merged in 2009 then un-merged this year, and now proposed to be merged again. Thoughts on what the final outcome should be? In my opinion, I would FOLLOW enWP, but I am curious to hear the thoughts of others. Griff (talk) 01:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Following the outcome over there seems reasonable. Kansan (talk) 01:33, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
