These three lists were created by the same editor in 2012, each with a single name in the list. They are based on individual titles given to Alfonso II of Aragon in a book by Roderick Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, a source that has been savaged in several published reviews as being untrustworthy, to say the least. In each case the point seems to have been to highlight a supposed subsidiary title attributed to the same monarch by Stuart.

List of Counts of Gerona duplicates Count of Girona, although the title seems to have gone out of existence as an independent entity several centuries earlier, but nonetheless this one ~~should~~ could perhaps be made into a redirect. I can't find any evidence that the others existed at all, as independent titles, and they definitely should to be removed. Agricolae (talk) 20:14, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all -- not useful as list articles. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:32, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all This is a bunch of lists, that give no added information, that all contain the one same individual. There is no gain from these lists, especially since they are based on a source of questionable reliability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - unreliable sources and even if valid, hardly seems notable.Glendoremus (talk) 05:58, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
DElete all -- These are at best subsidiary titles of monarchs. Count of Girona is a useful article, but we do not need a separate list duplicating it. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:44, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - These are only list articles with insufficient citations. UserDe (talk) 04:12, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I made the Gerona one into a redirect while leaving the AFD notice in place, but this has been reverted by UserDe with the notice that "this notice must not be removed". Srnec (talk) 04:05, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty sure the notice said not to blank the page until the discussion is closed.UserDe (talk) 04:08, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
