Category talk:William Newman-Norton

Rename category to "Abba Seraphim"

Newman-Norton took a religious name upon his consecration to the episcopate, and is known as Abba Seraphim to the world. He is no longer known by his given name. "Seraphim" is not merely a job title, but it is his identity as a leader. To refer to this man as "William Newman-Norton" is the equivalent of "deadnaming". We do not refer to "Jorge Mario Bergoglio" but Category:Pope Francis. It is fitting that his name be known here without the honorific, as we typically eschew honorifics from names in most places. In three other languages across WMF projects, he is known as "Seraphim of Glastonbury", his metropolitan see. Therefore,

• Rename to Category:Abba Seraphim (edited to reflect the most common consensus on other projects.)
