Requested move 20 July 2021

[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: procedural close. Per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Undiscussed moves, if a move is contested, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, the move may be reverted. If editors wish to move the page to the new title, then obviously a new requested move can be started. DrKay (talk) 15:25, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Ernest Augustus, Prince of Hanover (born 1914)Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover (born 1914) – This article has been moved from Ernest Augustus IV, Prince of Hanover to Ernst August Prinz von Hannover Sr to Ernest Augustus, Prince of Hanover (1914–1987) to Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover (1914–1987) to Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover (born 1914) to Ernest Augustus, Prince of Hanover (born 1914). The name used in the 1957 legal case is "Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover"[1], which would therefore seem to be his 'official' or 'legal' name. The English-language sources in the article all use either "Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover", "Prince Ernst August of Hannover" or "Prince Ernst of Hanover", and so it also therefore appears to be one of the commonest names if not the commonest name. According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#Other royals, which is the part of the guideline that apples here, the article title should be in the form "{title} {name} of {country}". Therefore, the article should be retained at "Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover" on the basis of Wikipedia:Official names#Valid use of official names, Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#Other royals Celia Homeford (talk) 14:17, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover (born 1914)Ernest Augustus, Prince of Hanover (1914–1987)X, Prince of Y is the form most often used by titled royals who are not kings or emperors. Векочел (talk) 03:17, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. The 1957 case called him Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover, and used the style "H.R.H. Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover" (not "H.R.H. the Prince..."). Considering this, and the fact that the substantive title of his ancestors who ruled Hanover was not "Prince of Hanover", this person's title appears to be a courtesy title, not a substantive title. I also concur with the reasons given by Celia Homeford. Adumbrativus (talk) 09:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - as during his life time, Hanover was never an independent principality, in which he reigned over. GoodDay (talk) 16:06, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

[edit]

The Life section states that "foreign royal titles can't be entered into a British passport. Therefore, the titles "Prince of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg" could not be mentioned there, nor could the British titles due to the Titles Deprivation Act of 1917", but then goes on to say "The name which was finally entered into his British documents, was thus "Ernest Augustus Guelph", with the addition of "His Royal Highness"." So which was it? Did his British passport refer to him as HRH, even though he wasn’t entitled to it? And what about this claim that his children are styled HRH in the UK? I assure you they are not. The only source given is an article hidden behind a paywall in a German magazine; is there any English language source that verifies what his British passport actually said?
