Move to "Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck"

The partial "translation" of the geographical name Kurhessen-Waldeck is an overtranslation; it's inappropriate here. The Electorate of Hesse ended for all practical purposes in 1866, long before the formation of Kurhessen-Waldeck; at that point the name only designates a Prussian province, not an Electorate of the Holy Roman Empire. "Kurhessen" is just a part of Hesse historically associated with the Hessian Electorate. (Also, "Hesse Electorate" is not very English. English would be something like "the Electorate of Hesse" or the "Hessian Electorate"; or maybe it was the Grand Duchy of Hesse under the Elector Duke so-and-so.)

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was even a separate state and has nothing to do with this article or the Electorate of Hesse. In most other respects I share the opinion of User Wegesrand. The translation as done here is full of mistakes:

1. "Evangelical" contains a political connotation which does not exist in the German expression of "evangelisch". "Protestant" would be nearer to the meaning.
2. "Hesse Electorate" should be translated with "Electorate of Hesse"
3. As user Wegesrand already mentioned the "Hesse Electorate" (German: Kurfürstentum Hessen) doesen't mean the state which vanished into Prussia in 1866 but the Prussian Province of Kurhessen.

So, the Lemma should be the proper name of the institution, Evangelische Kirche von Kurhessen-Waldeck, followed in brackets by "Protestant Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck". -- Reinhard Dietrich (talk)
