:Actually, this page was created to reference both the title and the one, unidentified, individual who hold it (which it does).

Move to "General of the Cross (2014)"

The Wikia Editor and I discussed this over on my talk page. I know that this page corresponds to the character whereas Generals of the Cross currently corresponds to the rank. However, it is more proper that the title of the article for the rank itself be singular. Pluralizing it for the sake of disambiguation is a poor method; deviating from grammatical convention to disambiguate between articles is disorganized. Furthermore, it is inconsistent with our other cases, such as Mentor (2000) and the rank of Mentor. I therefore propose that this be moved to General of the Cross (2014). I would enact the move immediately except that I cannot move "Generals of the Cross" to the singular "General of the Cross" without administrative assistance due to this article already existing.

Actually, this page was created to reference both the title and the one, unidentified, individual who hold it (which it does). I'm not entirely sure why "Generals of the Cross" was created in the first place, since as you pointed out, it isn't consistent with our existing disambiguation practices. We'd be better off simply deleting the "Generals" article, as it serves no purposes beyond duplicating text found here. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 11:32, April 19, 2017 (UTC)
