Discussion[edit]

What the hell redirect? TimothyBlue She was a royal princess of the absolute monarchy not a constitutional monarchy. She was held the "Duke of Taingda and Natmauk" , a high position at Mandalay Royal Court. How much do you need? How much do you know about the royal family of the Konbaung dynasty? Do Note anti-monarchy Wikipedians, Burmese royals were only known by the name of their towns or territories each 'possessed' as liege-lord or myosa, which is equivalent to the position of Duke. All children of the King were held as Myosa (Duke). That is not a purely nominal title or not a PR stunt. It very significant. See also Duke#Equivalents. Moreover, they are not likely to deposed monarchy crufts you knew or defunct princesses or princes of constitutional monarchy. Princesses and princes of Konbaung dynasty have power in their own than ministers and high-ranking court officials and can kill anyone they want.

According to Administrative divisions of Konbaung, The kingdom was divided into provinces called myo (မြို့). These provinces were administered by Myosa (မြို့စား), who were members of the royal family or the highest-ranking officials of the Hluttaw.^[1]

So they clearly meet WP:NPOL, and not WP:INVALIDBIO. Today, they are regarded as the historical figures in Myanmar. Why do you judge on them? I copied useful opinions and comments from discussion for old royal by a respected editor Robert McClenon,

"By the way, a living person from the nineteenth century is an entirely different issue. Either they are 121 years old, or they are said to be at least 121 years old, and are either the sort of hoax that Wikipedia publishes or the sort of hoax that Wikipedia must avoid. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)".

"It is still my philosophy that nineteenth-century royalty who are documented by one reliable source are notable. I would also add that insisting on multiple independent sources for historical figures from Southeast Asia or Africa may maintain systemic bias.

I also want to mention a respected editor from Myanmar and creator Hintha. MeismE (talk) 18:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
