Requested move 20 January 2024 edit

Latest comment: 2 months ago6 comments5 people in discussion

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Prince Karl Anton of Hohenzollern (born 1868) and Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern (born 1811). The single oppose vote is based primarily on conciseness. Necrothesp's proposal appears to split the difference and ~~is acceptable to the Nom~~.

– These two titles are indistinguishable. I suggest adding dates. Srnec (talk) 00:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I assume the intent was to harmonise on one order for the titles at the same time as adding the dates, i.e. both should be of the form Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern (born–died) in line with WP:NCROY. Rosbif73 (talk) 09:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

No, my intention was just to add dates. One is a reigning prince and one not. I do not like how current guidelines handle this distinction, but I have no suggested improvement. Srnec (talk) 16:28, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support on principle, but move to Prince Karl Anton of Hohenzollern (born 1868) and Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern (born 1811). We generally avoid using full date ranges. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comment with a preliminary oppose This is an issue with principalities in general. The leader of the state is a prince but his male relatives are also princes of a different sort. The order of the titles and the hatnotes are sufficient disambiguations in my view, adding a bunch of years to the title mostly serves to make the title longer.
