inconsistency

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

Zulu, South Africa.

I was wondering about the validity of the claim of the Zulu royal family as heads of the former ruling family of the province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Has this family been on this list before, and if not, then why not? Any ideas please? Cltjames (talk) 01:23, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Zulus are a Non-Sovereign African Kingdom in South Africa. Oksquirrel (talk) 14:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 January 2024

The request to rename this article to List of heads of former ruling families has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

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]
