Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. WP:BARTENDER. I don't see consensus between the original proposed title and Photius, Metropolitan of Kiev, but there is unanimous consensus against the status quo.

Photius, Metropolitan of Moscow → Photius (Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus') – He was the "Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus'". He was not the "Metropolitan of Moscow". No such title existed until 1448 with the appointment of Jonah of Moscow by the Grand Prince of Moscow following the Union of Florence. Needs disambiguation from many other bishops called "Photius".

Support, seems to be correct, and the title in the article (Metropolitan of Moscow, Kiev, and all Rus') is wrong and did not exist at the time. Ymblanter (talk) 08:14, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For consistency sake it should probably be something like Photius, Metropolitan of Kiev which I would support. Mellk (talk) 12:12, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reply I agree that comma is a common disambiguator for Eastern Orthodox prelates. However, the comma is really a geographical disambiguator. For type, parentheses is the correct disambiguator. In the Catholic and Protestant churches it is more common, but by no means universal. I can live with either form. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:23, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
