Archduchess Maria Anna (1738-1789)[edit]

I remove Archduchess Maria Anna (1738-1789), daughter of Maria Theresia, from the list. The Pragmatic sanction extended to the daughters of Charles IV (III) and their heirs male. Not their daughters. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 19:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the pages to the proposed titles at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 22:55, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


– For consistency with List of heirs apparent and presumptive to the British throne, List of heirs apparent and presumptive to the English throne, and List of heirs apparent and presumptive to the Scottish throne 2601:241:300:C930:8886:BC86:EF34:3EDD (talk) 02:47, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Unnecessarily lengthy article titles. See Wikipedia:Article titles#Conciseness. For consistency, it looks as though the three longer examples should be changed to match the 17 shorter ones not the other way around. Celia Homeford (talk) 11:30, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Opposeas per above and heirs encompasses both apparent and presumptive and those 3 they should be changed to match the rest עם ישראל חי (talk) 15:02, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral, but CREATE REDIRECTS to either version, NO MATTER WHAT. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:48, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I doubt the proposed redirects would be used if they are not the locations of the articles. Who will type that exact search string? At any rate, please create them if you think they should be created: WP:DEMAND. Dekimasuよ! 05:57, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Too complex, see WP:CONCISE. The distinction between heirs apparent and presumptive should be made in the articles. — JFG talk 21:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: If this move fails, perhaps the lists of heirs to the British, English and Scottish Crowns should see their titles simplified in a followup move request. — JFG talk 21:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion[edit]

I have deprodded this. Nearly every person listed has an article, and the ones I looked at all confirmed they were an heir with a reference. For the only one that isn't a bluelink, I quickly found a source that confirms most of the facts in the table. The lack of sources can be corrected with some routine wikignoming work transferring the sources from other articles. So in short, i'm not seeing this page as problematic in any major way, particularly as the discussion above shows that similar pages exist for all the major monarchies.
