Archduchess Maria Anna (1738-1789)

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]

Oppose. Unnecessarily lengthy article titles. See

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:

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]

Oppose – Too complex, see
WP:CONCISE. The three British ones should be simplified as well.--Batmacumba (talk) 12:24, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply

Proposed deletion

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.
