Lampad → Lampades – These figures are only ever referred to as a group as far as I know (that is, the singular "Lampad" is never used), so the page should not be at "Lampad" (this falls under the second exception at WP:PLURAL). Either "Lampades" or "Lampads" would be fine, although the majority of reliable secondary sources which mention them seem to use the former transliteration from what I can tell:

Sources with "Lampades": Gantz, Johnston, Serafini (in the English abstract), and Calame (in French)
Sources with "Lampads": Campbell, and Larson's Greek Nymphs: Myth, Cult, Lore

This title would also be a more accurate reflection of the Greek (Λαμπάδες). – Michael Aurel (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Move to "Lampades", as the most likely form to be encountered by readers, and the most likely to be searched for. Also likely to be consistent with other groups of nymphs, who are usually mentioned in the plural, except in the case of specific individuals. P Aculeius (talk) 14:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
