Now, here's a definite case of ambiguity. If you look at what links here we get this:

The Dead 3
Oathbreakers 6
Army of the Dead 8
Dead Men 8
Dead Men of Dunharrow 9

I don't really know, however, which of these is the best option, though. I think Army of the Dead is the most common, but I'm not really sure. Is this article best left where it is or should it be moved; if so, where to? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:17, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I personallly think we should keep it at Oathbreakers, I think it's most used (if excluding the Army of the Dead). Army of the Dead is (almost) only used in adaptations. --Amroth 18:23, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
For the record, there are ten mentions of "The Dead", four mentions of "Dead Men", one mention of "Dead Men of Dunharrow" and only two mentions of Oathbreakers. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 18:33, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think that, for search engine optimalization, Dead Men of Dunharrow is the best choice, even if it only appears once. It's the best known name as far as I know. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:45, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree with Ederchil. — Mithrennaith 06:24, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would favour "Dead Men" myself (and not "Dead men") as it's more tidy, I think " of Dunharrow" is unnecessary (and we can put the full description in the opening paragraph), and because Dead Men is more common in TLOTR than Dead Men of Dunharrow. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have to say, I thought "Army of the Dead" would work best in terms of SEO. Nonetheless the logic behind "Dead Men" makes a lot of sense. -- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  21:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
