Move to "Babylonian Brotherhood"

In our discussion, a plurality of contributors expressed support for moving this page to the canonical name, "Babylonian Brotherhood", in spite of the possibility that there may have been an unspoken retcon. I should note that technically, the name used in The Essential Guide, was not "Babylonian Brotherhood of Assassins" but "Babylonian Brotherhood". Sima Yi instead suggested that we should rename it "Order (Babylonia)" since it is only referred to as "the Order" in Chronicles: India and that would still be a canonical name. Although that is more recent, I am not in favor of that because it is a much vaguer name, awkward to the extent that I would lean towards the strictness that the retcon against "Babylonian Brotherhood" has never been explicitly stated. What do you guys think? Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 21:33, May 17, 2020 (UTC)

I would like to revive this discussion one last time because I am quite keen on moving this page back to "Babylonian Brotherhood". I think that the canonical name definitely has to take precedence over a conjectural name, per naming policy. Even if we strongly suspect that the canonical name is a misnomer due to a retcon—nay, even if we know the canonical name is a misnomer, as it sometimes is the case—that canonical name is still supposed to be the title.
