Propose renaming to Meister Francke, now a redirect, with 26,800 ghits against 41 for "Friar Francke", mostly devived from this article. Johnbod (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Grove Dictionary of Art uses Master Francke. Meister appears to be NHG, modernized from the contemporary Low German Mester; including English search terms suggests that some 23,000 of those raw Google hits are not in English, presumably mostly in German.

Ok, so does the Getty Name List, so I will amend the request, although I must say I am more used to Meister. "Master Francke" has only 3,530 ghits, so is still only about level with Meister in English. Johnbod (talk) 15:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
