Elevation edit

Going by Wikipedia using the styles and titles individuals used, shouldn't this article be titled Grand Duke Gabriel Konstantinovich of Russia? Charles 11:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

– For consistency with the article titles of their father Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia, brothers Prince John Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Oleg Konstantinovich of Russia, and Prince Georgy Konstantinovich of Russia, grandfather Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia, and uncles Grand Duke Nicholas Konstantinovich of Russia, Grand Duke Dmitry Konstantinovich of Russia, and Grand Duke Vyacheslav Konstantinovich of Russia. 2601:241:300:C930:A0A2:4D50:149E:E69 (talk) 02:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

  • Not sure. Why that direction? There was a previous extended discussion, long ago, that preferred the use of C: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)/Archive 18#Russian grand duchesses (thorough). That's also the basis upon which this move was performed in the other direction by User:Charles. Dekimasuよ! 19:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. In everything I can find relating to the subject's life in France, until his death, Константинович is translated to Constantinovich, with a C, not a K. This is no more than a styling issue that appears to have changed more recently. As he was in France 1920-55 when and where the style was to translate this, it is to be expected that his name is written differently to his older family in Russia where their names were not, at that time, frequently translated. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
