Talk:Poems (Bibesco)

Subpage names

For novels and other works segmented in parts denominated by succeeding numerals, we use "Chapter 10" and not "Chapter X". Poetry collections are in a grey zone: what we usually do is use the title of the poem. When there is no title, the first line is used. This collection has the issue that poems:

1. have only a title (only for "Sonnet"), or;
2. have only a roman numeral (the majority), or;
3. have both (12 poems).

I think that the roman numerals are here part of the titles, and so should be in the subpage names.

If others disagree or consider this a violation of the norm of using arabic numerals, I think it still would be better to:

1. Not change anything for "Sonnet", it's fine like it is, and;
2. Rename every poem without a non-numeric title to its first line, and;
3. Rename every poem with both to its non-numeric title.

And anyways it's only 34 poems so it's not that much work to do.
