What is the point in making Pages With Long and Complicated Titles? We already have a page on astronomer, which follows the recommendation of using singular nouns in page names. When choosing a name for your new page, you can make it easy for people to link to the page by giving it a name that is short and easy to remember.--LA2 (19 May 2001)
