– Per WP:CONSISTENCY and WP:CONCISE. When I started a discussion for moving Coronation of Elizabeth I and Coronation of Elizabeth II to Coronation of Queen Elizabeth I and Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II respectively, everyone brought up WP:CONCISE and emphasized on the fact that the titles need to be as short as possible. Also, it was mentioned that these articles should be consistent with the main articles about these monarchs (George VI, not King George VI, etc.) I don't see a reason for applying these set of rules only to the articles about the coronation of female monarchs. Based on the arguments brought up by the users, these pages need to be moved as well. I also thought it might be better to refer to the consorts with their first names, rather than their maiden names, because that might be confusing for some readers in this case.

Comment Is mention of the consort necessary in the title? Couldn't it simply be 'Coronation of George VI'? The article can outline the coronation of the consort but the primary subject of the article is always the monarch's coronation. --DilatoryRevolution (talk) 03:23, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
- If two people are crowned in the same ceremony and the article discusses both, I think it is only reasonable to mention both in the title. Surtsicna (talk) 10:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
