It has one reference to a 2004 book and I found no other references beyond Wikipedia reprints. I don't see historical notability with only one source. SL93 (talk) 23:53, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Pretty sure king = WP:NPOL pass. Curbon7 (talk) 16:37, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Curbon7 That appears to be a wrong reading. A Mayan king does not count as an elected official. The closest thing we have is the failed proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (royalty). SL93 (talk) 17:36, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It actually is WP:NPOL, as you should note that it doesn't distinct elected office in crit#1. As this king held a national office (as a national leader), it thus passes NPOL. The concept is that, like other WP:NPOL passers, a ruling monarch is inherently encyclopedic and necessary for a completed encyclopedia. (Side note: but it seems like Wikipedia:Notability (royalty) was meant for royal family members and nobles than for monarchs). Curbon7 (talk) 17:49, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 What the hell? are you kidding me? the ruler or king of a kingdom is automatically notable for all time. If you don't believed me you can ask everyone. VocalIndia (talk) 17:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VocalIndia Actually, what the hell is wrong with you? There was no reason to be uncivil. I came back to withdraw the nomination only to see this shit. SL93 (talk) 17:59, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 "shit" is very rude to me. Pls be careful your tone. Thanks VocalIndia (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VocalIndia You didn't. Shit, shit, shit. SL93 (talk) 18:06, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey WP:STAYCOOL, he's just trolling. Curbon7 (talk) 18:07, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No! It is not a trolling. This is my opinion for all monarchy AfD . You can check my comments on every royalty AfDs. VocalIndia (talk) 18:22, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I gave this comment because I've noted the king and queen are automatically notable on Wikipedia. I saved many royalty articles from over 100 AfDs. For example case Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen Seonjeong. Sorry for my sensitive. Btw I'm not a royal fan. Thanks VocalIndia (talk) 18:26, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are no special notability guidelines about monarchs, nobility and their descendants. The guidelines for politicians are applied to those who have exercised political authority. per WP:MONARCH . VocalIndia (talk) 17:57, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
