(non-admin closure)

– Several reasons:

  1. These articles, all of which are variations on Divine Liturgy, currently exhibit a disturbing level of inconsistency in the names.
    1. Some are called just "Liturgy", some are called "Divine Liturgy", even though they're all Divine Liturgies (one exception: see #3).
    2. The standard convention seems to be to spell out "Saint" in article names unless there's a compelling reason not to.
  2. It's an issue to have the disambiguation page for the Chrysostom litugy not match the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC page name when it's so easy to do; it makes disambig page links way too easy to put into articles and forces reliance on the detection bots for no good reason.
  3. Liturgy of Gregory is primarily an anaphora, not a full Divine Liturgy; current title makes it out to be on par with other full Divine Liturgies, which it's not.

Comment: I basically agree with the proposal, but I think we should look for the usage in the reliable sources (WP:COMMONNAME). I see that this source supports the "Anaphora" title. On the other hand, I can't find a single source that uses "Divine Liturgy of Saints Addai and Mari". It's either "Liturgy of Addai and Mari" or similar spelling ([1]) or "Anaphora of Addai and Mari" ([2][3]). I don't think we should go against WP:COMMONNAME, so in this case I think the page should not be moved. Other proposals are to substitute "St." with "Saint", which I support for consistency.

Comment: like Vanjagenije, I generally agree to the moves. But, see here (copyright held by Syrian Orthodox Dioceses of North America and Canada) for some background and here: "we have published the Holy Liturgy of St. James."
The disambiguation page describes musical works that may not actually contain the term divine, so adding the term to the title may be confusing. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 12:24, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in mind that "Anaphora of Addai and Mari" is commonly used mainly because the anaphora contained within the liturgy was the subject of debate over validity, not because there is no complete Divine Liturgy under that name. Also, "Holy Liturgy" is not a proper name, analogous to "Holy Mass", which violates WP:NPOV and isn't used here. "Divine Liturgy", on the other hand, is a proper name. So the real question is between "DL" and "L". Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 15:21, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but I just said the the current title ("Liturgy of Addai and Mari") is better than the proposed one ("Divine Liturgy of Saints Addai and Mari") because the proposed one is not used in sources. I did not argue for the "Anaphora of Addai and Mari". Vanjagenije (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanjagenije: Okay, I concede the Addai and Mari entry based on this Ngram. Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 20:22, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@BoBoMisiu: regarding your comment above, could you clarify your position/suggestion? I'm not sure what you meant to say exactly. Thanks. Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 19:37, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jujutsuan: I am not voting in this because I would just be guessing about the titles. My comment was just an uninformed comment. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 21:18, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recommended: Add reference to modern musical composition: Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom by Alexander Arkhangelsky[edit]

As attested by the long list of modern musical settings for the text of the liturgy cited in the article, this particular liturgical text is extremely popular -- the best-known classical musical accompaniments (for non-Russian audiences, at least) are those written by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff.

For accuracy, I'd recommend adding a reference to Alexander Arkhangelsky's chorale setting for this work, apparently composed sometime on or before 1898. As noted in his biographical article, Arkhangelsky (1842-1924?) wrote over 300 chorale works for the Russian Orthodox Church. This work was recorded in 1956, and that performance was subsequently republished a number of times.
