Better title?
[edit]Would it not be better to title this article Attlee ministries? Harfarhs (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Per WP:ARTSINGLE,
Article titles are generally singular in form

- I asked whether it would be better, not whether the idea was mentioned in Wikipedia guidelines and policies. The article deals with both Attlee ministries, and the phrase "Attlee ministries" is already used at the head of the infobox, suggesting a fundamental confusion. 1990 Bootle by-elections is an example of an article titled in plural form for much the same reason, i.e. that discussing them singly would be to the detriment of encyclopaedic coverage.

- The by-elections example is a bit different: it refers to two separate by-elections in the same constituency within a short span, not two phases of the same ministry. It fits the exception more closely. Unless we're treating Attlee's 1945 and 1950 ministries as distinct subjects deserving their own articles, it makes sense to stick with the singular. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:28, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
