Oppose. Not sure how "misleading" it is, & the proposed alternative is pretty clunky. Again, it should be "ancient" not "classical" - Classical Greece is a narrower term. Johnbod (talk) 16:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Support that term was used at a time when they didn't call a spade a spade. It has no value other than as a relic of an era. D.S. Lioness (talk) 17:25, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Oppose for the reasons stated by ★Trekker and Johnbod. This article is about perceptions of ancient Greek cultural attitudes throughout history, and typically described by the term that is the article's title. It's true that the term was a euphemism, but it's a euphemism with a considerable amount of history and cultural significance. I don't see any utility in changing a title that we still recognize to one that would tend to disguise the subject. Since the topic itself is somewhat dated, in the sense that attitudes toward homoeroticism and homosexuality have evolved to the degree that euphemisms such as this and its historical justifications are no longer viewed as necessary, the subject lacks the cultural currency that would tend to result in a new title replacing the existing one. Thus the existing title seems preferable to the proposed alternative, or similar titles. P Aculeius (talk) 02:24, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Oppose: The article already covers the term's history and usage, so renaming it to focus on a single time period seems unnecessary. Waqar💬15:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
