Talk:Ave Maria (disambiguation)

Is the song "Ave Maria" the same as Schubert's Ellens dritter Gesang? If not, then the link is wrong. --SyP 18:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this page is horrid, even for a disambig. I don't even know where to start...♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 15:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ave Maria (disambiguation) → Ave Maria —

No idea why it was moved without discussion, but I cannot imagine why anyone would think it was correct. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 18:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But it's obvious: it was moved on the grounds that the primary meaning of Ave Maria is the prayer itself, rather than any of its settings. This is probably correct; whether Ave Maria is also more common than Hail Mary is another question, to be decided on evidence. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - move it back where it was, then propose and discuss merits of any proposed move. --96.243.59.151 (talk) 00:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Two solutions seem reasonable: to have the substantive article at Ave Maria, or to have the substantive article at Hail Mary and have Ave Maria redirect there. This proposal is neither. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't quite understand. This is the English encyclopedia, so the article about the 'original' should be under Hail Mary, which is a common enough term to use it. In /English/, when most people -- at least from my observation -- use Ave Maria, they are referring to something in this disambig. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 18:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be under whichever of Ave Maria or Hail Mary is more usual (it is perfectly possible for the Latin loan phrase to be most common in English; compare Adeste Fideles and Dies Irae - where else would you expect the latter to be?). But, in either case, someone looking for either should wind up at that article. From there, those who are looking for a particular setting can go to the dab page; the article should also have a list of links to settings - in See Also if nowhere else.

By Offenbach?

Though obscure, apparently there is indeed such a work; see https://www.musikfestspielesaar.de/index.php/programm-2019/archiv/programm-2019/2-uncategorised/56-21-19-jacques-offenbach and http://www.offenbachmuseum.com/1/la_boutique_du_musee_1064221.html?id_pagina=&product=43723. However, this is a disambiguation page, not a list of all Ave Maria's, so it ought not be listed here, at least not until it appears in List of compositions by Jacques Offenbach with reliable sources. The user who added it has an obvious commercial interest, so it was doubly right to remove it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
