This kingdom has been defunct since 1945. This article does not contain an independent source and looks like POW and unverifiable original research, including about the supposed royal status of living persons (WP:BLP). See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Line of succession to the former Austro-Hungarian throne for a similar case. Norden1990 (talk) 08:29, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom.Smeat75 (talk) 13:47, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because the Kingdom itself doesn't even exist anymore.

Delete. This article is a line of succession to a kingdom that became defunct in 1945 and was replaced by country that became defunct in 1992, the largest constituent of which having been further balkanized in the interim. Restoring the Yugoslav crown would require unifying and monarchizing like seven different countries that hate each other, so support for such a movement is definitely fringe at best and violently disputable at worst.

Merge to Karađorđević dynasty Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 10:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Why merge instead of, say, redirect? What content should be merged? TompaDompa (talk) 11:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge In this case all Orders of succession of defunct Kingdoms (Romania, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria ect.) ^{Snake bgd} 21:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Karađorđević dynasty. Or perhaps the title should be renamed to contain the term Serbian throne, since the Karadjordjevic dynasty ruled Serbia before the creation of Yugoslavia, and Serbia is often considered the successor of Yugoslavia. Андрејевић (talk) 18:12, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Serbia does not have a line of succession (nor does Yugoslavia, since Yugoslavia does not exist anymore) because Serbia hasn't existed as a sovereign state with a monarchy since 1918. Also, what information would you merge? The line of succession is for all practical purposes fictitious, not to mention WP:Unverifiable WP:OR. TompaDompa (talk) 12:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
