Church History (journal) → Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture – Currently, Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture (the full title of the journal) redirects to Church History (journal). Per WP:NATURALDIS, it can be appropriate to use an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources
as a form of natural disambiguation. While the journal is often called by its shortened name, Church History, it is also widely known by its full title, Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture. Also, although this is an article about a periodical rather than an article about a book, WP:SUBTITLE seems instructive here: When the most commonly used name is ambiguous, the full title and subtitle might be suitable to be used as a form of natural disambiguation (see WP:NATURALDIS)
. Using the subtitle as a form of natural disambiguation will make the article easier to find and link to. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 10:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose, per our writing guide WP:JWG. We omit subtitles from journal titles because they frequently change, and also per WP:COMMONNAME, because subtitles are rarely used when referring to journals. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:00, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
