→Proposed move to Easter: re
Whatever the origin of the name happen to be, [[Easter]] is the most well-known name for the celebration that is the subject of the article. Therefore, I request that this article be moved to [[Easter]]. Of course, Resurrection Sunday could still be included as an alternative name with sources.

:I think that Resurrection Sunday is the most appropriate name as it is the holiday celebrating the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Easter is well known, but does not imply the importance and it is pagan origin. If Resurrection Sunday is popularised by encyclopedias like this, it will eventually become more popular. That is the purpose of an encyclopedia like ours. Whoever chose to use Resurrection Sunday as the main name has amazing foresight --[[User:OconnorM|OconnorM]] 18:10, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

::Encyclopedias are not here to make up facts. Encyclopedias serve the purpose of reporting facts. Unlike Wikipedia, Conservapedia allows itself to tell facts about the world from a conservative perspective. The notion that we should knowingly use a more obscure name for the central holiday of the practiced-religion on earth puts the cart before the horse.
::(As an aside, I might also point out that Sunday comes from the Greek for "day of the sun" [a reference to Greek polytheism] and Friday [such as in the term Good Friday] comes from Old English meaning "Freya's day." Perhaps we still have more work yet to do :P.) [[User:GregG|GregG]] 18:21, 6 April 2012 (EDT)
