Requested move 14 May 2022

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. "Imperial Majesty (style)" is now a redirect to "Imperial Majesty", but the hatnotes confuse me. Would someone kindly update the hatnotes? Thanks. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:07, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

His Eminence → Eminence (style)

His Holiness → Holiness (style)

His Honour → Honour (style)

Imperial Majesty (style) → Imperial Majesty

– per

WP:TWODABS

(last one).

23 other articles about noun-form styles are at "Noun" or "Noun (style)" where necessary (

Imperial Majesty (style), Majesty, Most Excellent Majesty, Most Faithful Majesty, Most Gracious Majesty, Orthodox Majesty, Royal Highness, Serene Highness, Sultanic Highness, Worship (style)

). The three proposed to be moved are the only ones at "His Noun".

The His form has the disadvantage of arbitrariness and over-specificity: they could equally be at "Your Noun", and most of them are also applied as "Her Noun" or "Their Noun".

An argument that the pronouns are required because they are integral to the style would be wrong – both Debrett's ("... would be entitled to the style Royal Highness and the title ... was created Royal Highness, but ... with the style of Highness and ...", all [1] p. 58) and the the Queen via the Gazette ("... should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of Royal Highness with ..." [2]) omit the pronouns when referring to styles of this form without a name. I suggest that Debrett's and Letters Patent are the limit Wikipedia should be aiming for in terms of formality and hyper-correctness, and neither uses a pronoun when referencing styles in the abstract.

These moves were

previously discussed in 2018

as part of a larger set of proposals. This proposal is a subset of the prior proposal, and if accepted would now create a full set of consistent articles at either "The Adjective", "The Adjective (style)", "Noun" or "Noun (style)".

Somewhat relatedly, also proposing moving
