Education?
[edit]The Wiki article on Nicholas's younger brother (Alexander III) states that Nicholas had a highly sophisticated education, unlike Alexander himself. But there is no mention of Nicholas's education in this article. Valetude (talk) 22:14, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Requested move 23 September 2023
[edit]- 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: no consensus (non-admin closure). I would even say there is a consensus against moving Alexei's article. No prejudice against a new discussion focussing solely on Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsesarevich of Russia. Jenks24 (talk) 09:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
– Both individuals were heirs apparent to the throne of Russia. Tsarevich and tsesarevich aren't the same title and they easily confuse people. Different titles were used in the two articles despite both individuals being in an identical position. This creates consistency issues. I'm not putting forward a particular choice for uniformity because this would invite reflexive supportive and oppositional votes. This format is better suited for a dialogue on how to best title both pages. The page for Alexei has had discussions before that went nowhere and same questions pop up from year to year.

- Use "Tsesarevich" for both My understanding is that "Tsarevich" was used for any son of Tsars, while Tsesarevich was for the heir apparent. As these two fellas were the heirs apparent, that title should be applied to them. Unless of course sources demonstrate a shift in the meaning. estar8806 (talk) ★ 23:01, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. Tsarevitch or czarevitch is the most commonly used term in English and the term used in the vast majority of English language sources. This is the English language Wikipedia. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 00:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Opposing what? Question marks? It's two pages and you have to be more clear on how both ought to be titled. Killuminator (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- The title should be Tsarevich, the common English term. The question has come up before and that was the decision before. I haven't edited the article for Nicholas Alexandrovich but that would be my vote for a title for that page as well. Anything written about this lesser known Romanov in English also has generally used the term Tsarevich or Czarevich. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 17:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose 1st. Rename 2nd Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia. Like it or not, "Tsarevich" is the common English term for the Russian heir. It's certainly the term that's always used for Alexei. By the time Nicholas was heir, younger sons were called grand dukes anyway, so it's not like his title is being used to distinguish him from other sons of the Tsar in any way. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose moving Alexei's article; I agree with the other commenters who've noted that "Tsarevich" was his common title in English sources. Move Nicholas' article to Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia, which would be WP:CONSISTENT with Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia, and which seems to be Nicholas' most common title in sources I was able to find:
- [1] (WP:TWL access required);
During this period [the early 1860s] he [Nikolay Bunge] also served as tutor in economics to the heir apparent to the throne, the Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich.
- [2] (WP:TWL access required);
...[Pobedonostsev] had been called to lecture to the first Crown Prince, the Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich.
- [3];
In his correspondence with Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich in the early 1860s...

- By contrast, use of the term "Tsarevich" in relation to the name "Nicholas Alexandrovich" seems to mainly be used in reference to the future Tsar Nicholas II (see here, here, here; latter two links require WP:TWL access)). ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:13, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Relisting comment: for clearer consensus on Nicholas' article, given there are alternate proposed titles for it. – robertsky (talk) 15:51, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia and oppose Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia because Nicholas was known as the tsarevich in English-speaking countries and this was the title he held at the time of his death. Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich was a younger son and never held the title of tsarevich. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:29, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
