King of Lithuania[edit]

huh ? what do you mean by King of Lithuania? By what law--Lokyz 20:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See the article on Mindaugas II of Lithuania. A short lived attempt to restore a monarchy to Lithuania to ensure it was protected by Germany - it failed because Germany was losing the first World War.

Pretense and notability[edit]

I see that the bit about this man being "pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of Lithuania (with the irredentistic pretension to Latvia)" has been readded ([1]) with the edit summary "He's the direct descendant and heir of the first, only and last King. Do the Orléans need a source to be the heirs of France?". Now, of course, the answer to that question is "Yes", as original research, while a good thing in articles of scientific journals, is completely unacceptable in Wikipedia's articles. And there is a reason for that: who are we - random (and often anonymous) strangers who edit Wikipedia - to make our opinions on the matter worth noticing? So, if there is no source, the should be no mention of "being the pretender", especially given the policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living people.

And furthermore - should the whole article exist? Practically all information in this article is already given in the article "Duke of Urach", while the rest either should be removed anyway, or probably should be given there. So, wouldn't it be better to make this article a redirect to that one? --Martynas Patasius (talk) 17:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Thanks, User:VocalIndia, for adding the Idowa ref. However, it is not sufficient by itself to establish notability. The other sources you added, Negotiations of the Historical Association for Lower Bavaria ("[Thanks goes to] Mr. Karl-Anselm, who today, as a descendant of the residents of Niederaichbach Castle, preserves the cultural heritage") and The World of Private Castles ("In 1928, Prince Karl-Gero, 1899-1981, succeeded his father to become the third Duke or Urach. He was succeeded by his nephews Karl-Anselm, and in 1991 by Wilhelm-Albert, the fifth Duke of Urach and Count of Württemberg.") are passing mentions and do not contribute to SIGCOV. The latter appears to be self-published, so I have tagged it. The article still doesn't meet GNG. Can you find more in-depth sources? JoelleJay (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JoelleJay, Sorry I found nothing and I just read this sentence The title "Duke of Urach" was abolished alongside all other noble privileges in Germany in 1919, with hereditary titles thereafter being relegated to surnames. So delete. Thanks VocalIndia (talk) 04:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
