inconsistency[edit]

if the page is named ,,Heads of former ruling families" not ,,List of current pretenders" it shouldn't be there Dalai Lama and one person should not occupy more than one seat e.g Rüdiger, Margrave of Meissen is a contender to the throne of Saxony and Poland:

State	Pretender	Since	House	Claim	Succession	Abolition	Ref(s)
Saxony Kingdom of Saxony Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth	Rüdiger	6 October 2012	Wettin	Great-grandson of King Friedrich August III (1904–1918).	Hereditary	1918\1815

should be on the list:

Juan José of Moctezuma de Tultengo, Ghalib II al-Qu'aiti, Mokanbabu Rajah (possibly the closest relative of Sri Rajadhi Rajasinha king of Kandy), Jason Brooke, Simon Egerton Scrope, Joachim, 8th Prince Murat, Ewuare II - his ancestors were kings of an independent state and he is not king of an independent Benin, and the descendants of the dynasty Keita live

7 people are called kings of Jerusalem

Heads of former ruling families → List of heads of former ruling families – This change seems necessary as per WP:NCLL, which states that articles that are comprised of lists should be titled with "List of [subject]". Per the current title, this article fails to meet this Wikipedia convention. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes sense to me --Kimon^talk 01:01, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes sense, only is that it feels a bit clunky to use 'of' twice in the title, but I can't think of any other phrasiong EmilySarah99 (talk) 09:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Legal name of one of the Proponents of the Hawaiian kingdom[edit]

Darrick Lane Hoapili Līloa Kamakahelei Baker's Legal name by Birth is Simply Darrick Lane Baker. he and his cousin "princess" Idony Baker are in dispute with each other claiming to both be heads of the House of Kamakahelei while also claiming both add on to their own names (both do add onto their names as far as I have concluded). looking at birth records on family search and claims by such, Darrick Lane Baker should be the head of the house with the fact that He is in the Senior Male line.I would also note taking down Prince from his name as no other person on the list has that title in their name as no other person within the list does so. 808Poiboy (talk) 22:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
