line of succession

What is the

Crown Prince? – Kaihsu 10:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply
]

That depends, if the CP is the heir-apparent (Ulukalala isn't). If the CP title is the next-in-line (heir-apparent or heir-presumptive) then he is (pending the King's marriage & birth of legitimate children). GoodDay 14:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see
Line of succession to the Tongan Throne. – Kaihsu 14:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply

Monarchial name

Should we add Tupou VI to the article title? GoodDay (talk) 03:50, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Defiantly, but it's on the title blacklist, possibly because people tried moving it there before he was king. I'll request the move now. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 06:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. However, if he does choose a different regnal name, I suggest that a full RM is not required at that point. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:12, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho Tupou VI – All articles on past kings of Tonga have there monarchical name after their common name. ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho is king now, so his article's name should be changed. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1]
06:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC) Question - Do we know if he going to keep his Tongan name as his regnal name, or is he going to adopt an English name like his brother? CanuckMy page89 (talk), 06:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He is already being called "Tupou VI", but he may indeed choose a particular regnal name to put in front of that. We should wait until it becomes clear exactly what his regnal name is going to be. Aridd (talk) 12:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We could add Tupou VI to the article title. We can easily change the title again, if the King uses an english name. GoodDay (talk) 16:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • BBC calls him "King George Tupou VI". The previous kings of Tonga are generally referred to as "King George Tupou [XX]". No one else is using "ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho". Kauffner (talk) 01:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This is likely to be his common name. We are not obliged to use monarch's full names (see Elizabeth II) or to refer to them how they are commonly known in their own country (see Hirohito). PatGallacher (talk) 10:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If he has chosen Tupou VI as his regnal name, then I believe that should be the article title. CanuckMy page89 (talk), 05:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Proclamation of the new King

Today the proclamation with the regnal name of the new king was published (see Announcement of the Passing of His Late Majesty & Proclamation of the New King). The Tonga Government Portal states: The Title for the New Monarch of Tonga will be His Majesty King Tupou VI, King of the Kingdom of Tonga. Therefore I moved the article to Tupou VI. Gugganij (talk) 18:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 02:19, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The King's regnal name

According to the B.B.C.'s website, the King has chosen to be known as 'King George Tupou VI' .

Someone needs to seek confirmation of this from the Government of Tonga.

The English name of the monarch is in common use, even within Tonga. - (203.211.77.199 (talk) 05:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Religion

Is His Majesty a member of the

Free Wesleyan Church? I believe there is conflicting information from this page and among others. 50.108.3.85 (talk) 04:45, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply

Tupou VI → ʻAhoʻeitu Tupou VI – The official name is ʻAhoʻeitu Tupou VI. Idh0854 (talk) 08:13, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose (for now) because no evidence of official name - Please provide a case for the official name you suggest including reliable sourcing indicating that. The Ministry of Information and Communications for the Tonga Government has this site: http://www.mic.gov.to/royaltynobility which refers to him just as Tupou VI.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'll be reviewing this article, using the template below. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:38, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this review will have to be a quickfail per Wikipedia:Good article criteria. It is a long way from meeting GA criteria #2 and especially, #3. This article has a lot of expansion and editing needed before it is close to being well-sourced and comprehensive. The article contains no detail about his six years as PM, nor any detail about his other diplomatic roles. The second paragraph of 'Life' is wholly unsourced, even for very opinionated statements. And the material on his reign is scant and lacking in detail. The 2017 dismissal of Parliament, which attracted significant international attention, is mentioned, but not fleshed out. The only other event mentioned is the volcanic eruption. Even without looking at domestic Tongan sources, international news has covered other aspects of his reign and there is much material that could be added.
Regrettably, the article is simply not a comprehensive encyclopedic look at Tupou VI right now, and cannot be assessed on the other GA criteria. I have listed some potential sources down below, but there are others you can find. I also recommend assessing the reliability of some domestic Tongan sources and looking there as well. As this is your first GA nomination, please don't feel too discouraged by this! The article could definitely get to GA one day. Please feel free to ask me if you want any further advice or clarification, and keep on editing and contributing to Wikipedia! Thanks for your improvements here. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    The prose is reasonably good, could be slightly extended.
    B. It complies with the
    list incorporation
    :
    The lead could benefit from a slight rewrite, as its a bit too short.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
    the layout style guideline
    :
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    not exactly sure if all the citations are good, may need someone more experienced than me to cover this
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    again, like last nomination, it doesnt cover the 6 years as prime minister (although it did at least mention some of it)
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it
    neutral
    ?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    as far as i can see, its pretty well balanced.
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing
    edit war
    or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are
    copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content
    :
    B. Images are
    suitable captions
    :
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Still failed for the same reasons as before.

His Time as PM

Do you have any ideas of how I could get some sources on what he did during his time as PM. History6042 (talk) 20:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History6042, there was a list of sources given in the previous GA review, Talk:Tupou VI/GA1, when it was closed. Have you investigated them all? Or seen whether there might be published books that could be obtained from a library? My thought is that this nomination should probably be closed as unsuccessful as the last one was, since the basic issues remain. Until you can find sufficient adequate information about the time as Prime Minister for inclusion in the article, then this article shouldn't be nominated again for GA. There's nothing wrong with this: some articles simply don't have sufficient information available to qualify at that level, though they are still valuable parts of Wikipedia. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:07, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you. History6042 (talk) 18:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BlueMoonset, @Begocc, what's the status of this? It looks like it's been failed, but the review is still open? -- asilvering (talk) 17:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
asilvering, while the first review failed, this second one remains open, and I don't understand why. Nominator History6042 hasn't made a single edit since the review opened, and Begocc hasn't returned to finish what they started. My suggestion would be for Begocc to fail the nomination, or if they haven't returned within seven days, I'm willing to do so; History6042 should not renominate until the issues raised here have been fully addressed in a new series of edits to the article. Thanks for asking; I'd forgotten about this one. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As Begocc has not edited in the past seven days, and History6042 has made edits but not to the article or to this page, I am closing this nomination as having been abandoned by both nominator and reviewer. The article should not be renominated until the issues raised in the review have all been addressed. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
