• Delete. I'm disappointed that the list doesn't include a "see also" section linking I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am. pburka (talk) 00:18, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per
  WP:NLIST. Nobody groups rulers by name. (Second Afd, same as the first.) Clarityfiend (talk) 02:15, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Delete: the article fails
  WP:NLIST. The Redirect King Henry will need to be retargeted to a suitable page if this is deleted, and I am not currently sure what the best target is. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 07:39, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

• If deleted, retarget King Henry to Henry#Royalty PamD 08:52, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral: I'm not bothered about keeping it but I don't really see a good reason for deletion either. Deb (talk) 08:54, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I think the nom's reason is good enough (the set of rulers named Henry isn't notable and there's no relationship between them except they happen to share a name or nickname). It's also a disambiguation page masquerading as a list, which means it doesn't get the usual maintenance attention that dab pages require (see WhatLinksHere/King_Henry for evidence). Finally, it essentially duplicates information already at the actual disambiguation page, Henry#Royalty. pburka (talk) 17:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Total listcruft, fails LISTN.  // Timothy :: talk  23:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. An additional problem is that a number of these rulers didn't share a name – but happen to be called Henry in English. Some are Enrique, Henrique, Imre (Emeric), Heinrich, Henri and so on. /Julle (talk) 23:49, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. And what Julle said is the main argument for me. Suitskvarts (talk) 11:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
