Page move edit
Is there some reason why this page is not located at Daughters of Utah Pioneers or International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers?
If there are no comments for a few days, I think I will move this to the former. --Lethargy 23:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I suspect that it was created as DUP because no one uses the official name. That is at lease trut of all my family members who are DUP members. I would be surprised if any of them even realize the organization has a different official name. Almost all press about the organization, at least in the Mountain West, uses Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. So - if you move - please keep a DUP and a Daughters of Utah Pioneers redirect.

- A redirect is automatically created.
- I won't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I have always heard "Daughters of Utah Pioneers" and don't recall seeing it with "the". As for the official name, I didn't realize it was "International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers" either, but I don't think it belongs there because IIRC Wikipedia has a "most common usage" rule. --Lethargy 00:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Here is at least one Utah Chapter/Museum that uses "the" name [1]. Others in my web search appear to use either name, but Daughters of Utah Pioneers does seem to have the majority. My grandmother -- the really active DUP member in our family -- always used "the" when referring to her beloved organization. Apparently the ladies were never too worried about controlling the issue.

- I can't remember hearing my grandmother talk about it —not sure how active she was in it— but the offical website uses "Daughters of Utah Pioneers". I'll still wait a little while to move it though. --Lethargy 01:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
