:::::@[[User:JoelleJay|JoelleJay]] Fair enough. Though I would have loved to see these RS that establish his legal name (which is irrelevant to be honest, what matters is his common name). But, if the common name in English and Portuguese excludes the title "prince" then we have no choice but to go with what the sources say. Though as I said earlier, I always take [[WP:TITLECON]] into consideration when dealing with cases like this, and it is not really helpful that the article on his brother is at [[Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza]]. It's as if Wikipedia is suggesting that there's a difference in rank between the two brothers, which we all know is not the case.

::::::By strange coincidence [https://novo.campinas.sp.gov.br/noticia/42831 this government web page] has actually been changed since yesterday. Lmao that is actually hilarious I must say, bravo, if not a little bit sad, whoever facilitated that! Let me a pose a question, people are saying he can’t be a Prince and we can’t call him a Prince because the law of Brazil says so right, despite the fact the majority of sources recognise him as royalty via Prince, Dom, Prince Imperial or all three or a combination of them. Hungary legally doesn’t allow you to change gender so if we have Viktor Orban declaring he is female today what do we do, do we call him a “male” as he is under the law, do we say he is a self styled “female”, do we use male or female categories. In this article we have a person who thinks he’s a Prince is regarded as such by multiple reliable sources so how do we deal with these issues where there is a conflict between the majority of reliable sources saying one thing and the legal reality of a single country. What would you do with the Greeks who are universally known by there royal title even though they may have been born after Greece abolished its monarchy, are we supposed to just invent a name for them they are very clear they do not have a surname. So Keivan I think we will never see consistency across Wikipedia we will have infinite discussions some will go one way others the other and maybe go back and forth, unfortunately some people are so against something to the point of irrational which is a symptom of culture wars, social media which were lacking in the early days of Wikipedia. There is no interest in improving these articles because you can read the contempt some hold them in, in the comments in this discussion it’s purely an ideological anti royalty issue. Someone like [[Ferdinand Habsburg (racing driver)]] should absolutely be at that title rather than Archduke Ferdinand of Austria because that is not how he is known nor is it what he is known for. - [[User:DWC LR|dwc lr]] ([[User talk:DWC LR|talk]]) 09:03, 3 March 2022 (UTC) |

Brazil, one imagines. Absolutely brain-softening. --Wetman 04:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
"Being a Traditionalist Catholic and a member of Tradition, Family and Property, Prince Bertrand is not married and has no issue, so his dynastic heir is his younger brother, Prince Antonio of Orléans-Braganza, who is married to a Belgian princess, Princess Cristina of Ligne, with issue."
Sorry, I don't seem to have my log-in name ready right now, but I wanted to address an issue on this page. I know for certain that there is no prohibition on Traditionalist Catholics marrying, and I don't believe that TFP members take any kind of vow of celibacy, so if Prince Bertrand is unmarried I don't believe that this is directly caused by his traditionalism or his TFP membership. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D.E.

Not a prince
Please @DWC LR:, provide a source to use Prince in title. I reverted you and, by history,
{{subst:DNAU|Sturm}} are against your move too. Next time you will be reported to WP:ANI. Ixocactus (talk) 10:35, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Many respected reference works attribute a royal title for example Burke's Royal Families of the World: Europe and Latin America v. 1, Almanach de Gotha’s etc. [1] calls him Prince imperial of Brazil. Also Prince of Orleans- Braganza is a French title so what does the legal view of Brazil matter.-dwc lr (talk) 14:19, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Gotha is not a RS, and Bertrand is not cited by it. Brazil is a republic since 1889 and do not recognize this and other "princes". You was reported to WP:ANI. Ixocactus (talk) 21:04, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Gotha is a reliable source as are the others. Sources disagree that these people are not princes. Russia says Crimea is part of Russia which de facto it is, Wikipedia just have to go along with that? Hungary says you can’t change your birth gender, Wikipedia have to label those people by birth gender as is the legal case? - dwc lr (talk) 09:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Gotha is not a RS, and Bertrand is not cited by it. Brazil is a republic since 1889 and do not recognize this and other "princes". You was reported to WP:ANI. Ixocactus (talk) 21:04, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Requested move 28 February 2022
Prince Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza → Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza – There is dispute over whether "Prince" should be part of the title and a move war over this. I have no personal opinion on this, but am reverting the latest move back to the stable page name and creating this RM as the proper course of action for concerned parties to discuss. Spike 'em (talk) 09:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose thank you Spike 'em for your sensible neutral intervention here. Same logic as at Talk:Princess Maria Francisca of Orléans-Braganza#Requested move 18 February 2022, also WP:NCNT and for consistency across the articles on the Orleans-Braganza’s, Burkes Peerage calls him Prince as does the French reference works Le Petit Gotha. The Almanach de Gotha 1944 calls him Prince on p34 , the 2013 calls him Prince Imperial of Brazil. Then there are news outlets [2], [3]. The irony is this article doesn’t even use a Brazilian title, for example Prince Imperial of Brazil or Prince of Brazil, but instead Prince of Orleans-Braganza which has only existed since 1909 by recognition of the French pretender the Duke of Orleans. Prince has been in the title since day 1 in 2005 and stable Bar a short period following an undiscussed move. dwc lr (talk) 10:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support No one born in 1941 is a prince of an empire than ended in 1889, nor a prince of Orleans, etc., obviously, because there is no kingdom for him to be a prince of. The fact that people pretend to be princes is sort of tediously predictable, as is the fact that people obsessed with tracing the lineages of former monarchies take those pretenses seriously, as is the fact that various news sources incidentally use the titles people falsely claim. Luckily objective reality is sufficiently clear that it shouldn't even be necessary to point out the farcically poor quality of the sources dwc lr has chosen to present. --JBL (talk) 16:08, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Is the BBC a garbage source? They call also him Prince Imperial of Brazil! This is a BLP yet you’ve not cited a single source here. The fact the monarchy is abolished is irrelevant no one is pretending Brazil is a monarchy but it is a long established tradition that royal status is widely recognised regardless as sources support in this case. Swedish royals used to only be able to marry princes/princesses to keep their titles, the current kings father married the ”legally” German commoner Miss Prinzessin von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, yet when a couple of his brothers married commoners (Miss Erica Maria Patzek and Miss Kerstin Wijkmark) they had to give up their rights. Funny reality that - dwc lr (talk) 17:06, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Listen, I understand, some people like furries or BDSM, your kink is with the idea that there are lots of nobility running around just waiting to be restored to their rightful place or whatever; on a personal level, more power to you. But please, do it at fandom.com and stop polluting Wikipedia with this garbage. --JBL (talk) 22:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- My likes/dislikes are irrelevant I like Reliable Sources, but apparently the BBC is garbage then we better get them deprecated :O. You want to bring your own narrow world view into this, as your argument is basically / Brazil republic, no title, I think title silly, bad and wrong. Yet you have not even pretended to do a bit of research or to educate yourself. I really hope for the credibility of Wikipedia you don’t contribute To articles with this sort of attitude. - dwc lr (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reading WP:NCNT the relevant section seems to be
Do not use hypothetical, dissolved or defunct titles, including pretenders (real or hypothetical), unless this is what the majority of reliable sources use.
which turns this into a commonname discussion. Are there any BBC articles about him in English as it is generally English language sources that we should poll for this? Spike 'em (talk) 23:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)- Not him no, another family yes Ths lost prince of Brazil Prince Dom Joao Orleans of Bragança. - dwc lr (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Funny reality that - dwc lr (talk) 17:06, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support. There are plenty of RS that not only don't play into this monarchist promotionalism, but even explicitly reject it, e.g. La Times/Financial Times:
Época Negócios:Bertrand Maria José Pio Januário Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga de Orleans e Bragança e Wittelsbach has a regal name but no crown — which is what he craves.
“A return to monarchic rule is the only way to rule Brazil,” said the man more simply known as Dom Bertrand or, as he may prefer, “Prince Imperial of Brazil,” heir to Brazil’s defunct throne.Heir to the extinct throne, Dom Bertrand de Orleans e Bragança lives in a rented 2-bedroom house. A British newspaper report describes the routine of the self-proclaimed Imperial Prince of Brazil.
Metrópoles:Dom Bertrand Orleans and Bragança, theoretically the "Imperial Prince of Brazil"...
BBC:
Another FT piece:the monarchist leader Bertrand Maria José Pio Januário Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga de Orleans e Bragança had scheduled meetings with newly sworn in parliamentarians.
In the office of federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PSL-SP), Dom Bertrand - as he is called by followers...Dom Bertrand, heir to a defunct throne ... This is not what readers of the FT want to see in an article about the illustrious “Prince Imperial of Brazil” — heir to Brazil’s defunct throne...
Folha de S. Paulo:At the age of 78, Dom Bertrand de Orleans e Bragança travels Brazil...
R7:The imperial family "has black blood", says "prince" of Brazil. D. Bertrand de Orleans and Bragança leads movement that tries to restore the monarchy.
Given he is legally not a prince but seeks to promote himself as such, that we have RS regularly referring to him as simply "Bertrand de Orleans e Bragança", and that multiple RS assert the "prince" title is self-proclaimed and used only by the small percent of Brazilians who are monarchists; and also given the successor to the defunct throne is disputed anyway; the NPOV position is very clearly on the side of moving this article to the proposed name. JoelleJay (talk) 01:18, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for these sources showing the use of a royal/noble title (Dom) which is more prevalent in Portuguese than using the Prince title as well, eg Prince Dom Bertrand. Did you mean to say support because your sources are contradicting you? - dwc lr (talk) 18:13, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- That is not a noble title in Brazil, it is used as an honorific for elders and people of high social status. JoelleJay (talk) 23:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- And anyway using an honorific "formerly given to gentlemen of Brazil and Portugal" (per Collins) or "prefixed to the Christian name of a Portuguese or Brazilian man of rank" (MW) is most definitely not indicative of these RS acknowledging he holds the "Prince Imperial" title, especially when they put that title in scare quotes and explicitly call it "self-proclaimed". JoelleJay (talk) 00:15, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Why is the president of Brazil never called ‘Dom’ for example, why is it only royals or nobles? Are they the only people of “high status” and perhaps clergy. Why does your source say it’s former when it’s very present. Is he royal or is he not, if not what is his “high status” derived from or is it because he is an old bloke? Why is he called Dom by your sources or by the Brazilian government sources if it not longer exists (like Prince apparently), we are not even discussing putting Prince Imperial in the title just retaining its current title. But why do these government sources call him Dom and Prince Imperial of Brazil or S.A.I.R Dom (His Imperial & Royal Highness). With respect your view and the view of others here, while your welcome to a personal view no matter how obscure, fringe and minority a view it is which even the Brazilian government don’t care about, should have no business determining article names where we are interested in what sources say. At least Wikipedia used to be about that. - dwc lr (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Neither of the sources you link calls him a prince...? Every time he is mentioned in the first he is called "Bertrand de Orléans e Bragança". He is only called "Dom" in the second, and a Brazilian ministry hosting a flyer for + audio links of a conference presented by him is hardly the government conferring legitimacy to a title. And who cares what gives someone the "high status" implied by "Dom"? No one is proposing that as the page move target, it has zero bearing on this discussion. The sources do not support widespread and majority use of the title, the title itself hasn't legally been held in 200+ years, only a small minority of Brazilians even support a monarchy now, we have RS stating the title is "self-proclaimed" and that it is tied directly to political groups...there's really no NPOV reason Wikipedia should assert he is a prince and a lot of reasons why we shouldn't. JoelleJay (talk) 01:05, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Ah I see, the "SAIR" is an acronym. Looking into this more, it's not remotely "the government calling him a prince". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports a foundation that records podcasts related to foreign affairs and then hosts those podcasts on a subpage of the governmental domain. The conference released the title of his talk as well as the graphic calling him "SAIR Dom Bertrand", so, no, this in no way legitimizes use of the title (which also isn't even the same as the Wiki article name you are advocating, so is irrelevant anyway).

- Support. As tempting as it is to simply comment "Prince of what?", I will also mention that including "Prince" goes against WP:TITLESINTITLES. The "Mother Teresa" exception clearly does not apply. There are, I am sure, a significant number of articles in RSs that refer to "Sir Patrick Stewart" or "Dame Judi Dench", but we don't title their articles that way. Egsan Bacon (talk) 02:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Not right I’m afraid see Prince George of Cambridge or any royal article. - dwc lr (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support. all titles specific to the monarchy of brazil in articles of people born after the end of the monarchy in Brazil should be removed. See, e.g., Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza, Prince Pedro Henrique of Orléans-Braganza, Prince Pedro Luiz of Orléans-Braganza, Princess Pia Maria of Orléans-Braganza etc. Pls, can someone edit in order to movie of all applicable cases? Sturm (talk) 03:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Again no sources cited. The only sources cited in this whole discussion are ones by me and (ironically) JoelleJay which all support use of a title. I’m not sure how an admin is supposed to move this based on what we have seen so far. I don’t like it is not a valid argument. - dwc lr (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- None of my sources support using the "Prince" title. "Dom" is not a royal title in modern Portuguese, it is an honorific title applied to men of high status. But even if it were specific to royalty, it would still not support the current title (he is being called "Dom", not "Prince") and it would go against the MOS to move the page to "Dom Bertrand". JoelleJay (talk) 00:05, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

- Comment The argument that his title of “prince” should be removed because he was born after the monarchy collapsed should be applied to other members of the family in my opinion because currently the page should not be moved based on WP:TITLECON. However, if this RM results in a move, then pages mentioned by Sturm can be listed and moved in due course as the arguments made here apply to all those individuals and not just Bertrand. I would also like to point out that currently the pages on claimants to various thrones have the titles Prince or Duke attached to their names, even though many of those monarchies collapsed long before they were born. So this whole issue of princes/princesses from collapsed monarchies needs to be reviewed in general as we should perhaps come up with new guidelines for WP:NCROY as there have been incidents of disputes recently on how these pages should be titled. Keivan.fTalk 16:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- You are right but Unfortunately there is a lot of bigoted and ill informed interventions in these discussions. Even Brazilian governmental sources call him Prince Imperial of Brazil but facts like this have an inconvenient way of getting in the way of peoples rabid and irrational hostility of groups of people sometimes. These narrow minded POV people show themselves for what they are though. If we remove titles which they are commonly known by then we open BLP issues over what someone’s “legal name” is, but not many people are concerned by such things due to their own prejudices. - dwc lr (talk) 18:13, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Correct. I have never been a fan of naming articles after subjects' legal names, because frankly there are limited resources that we have access to online with regards to what a person's legal name is. We cannot see their IDs or passports after all; not to mention that legal names can also change through court processes. If the government's website refers to him as "Prince Imperial" then I don't know what we are arguing about here. Because that makes the whole argument that he is not known as a prince inside Brazil void. Keivan.fTalk 05:04, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Exactly right, we are extremely unlikely to be able to source what the “legal name” is, we have no idea what their passport says, how many countries they are citizens of. With BLPs we need the highest standards yet all I have seen so far is personal points of views not grounded in sources or reality. I would say to people why does this article exist in the first place, why is he notable ultimately it’s because he was born into a prominent position into the deposed Imperial Family of Brazil. - dwc lr (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Keivan.f the government does not call him "Prince Imperial". A subdomain of one foundation managed by one ministry of the government hosts a digital library of podcasts, including one of a conference talk he gave at which his provided presenter name is "SAIR Dom Bertrand"; the "government website" merely states "Listen to the conference by SAIR Dom Bertrand de Orleans and Bragança". His full legal name is available in multiple RS, and the majority of RS use "Bertrand de Orleans e Bragança", which is definitely where our article should reside. JoelleJay (talk) 01:56, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @JoelleJay Fair enough. Though I would have loved to see these RS that establish his legal name (which is irrelevant to be honest, what matters is his common name). But, if the common name in English and Portuguese excludes the title "prince" then we have no choice but to go with what the sources say. Though as I said earlier, I always take WP:TITLECON into consideration when dealing with cases like this, and it is not really helpful that the article on his brother is at Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza. It's as if Wikipedia is suggesting that there's a difference in rank between the two brothers, which we all know is not the case. That's what I was trying to point out earlier.

- By strange coincidence this government web page has actually been changed since yesterday. Lmao that is actually hilarious I must say, bravo, if not a little bit sad, whoever facilitated that! Let me a pose a question, people are saying he can’t be a Prince and we can’t call him a Prince because the law of Brazil says so right, despite the fact the majority of sources recognise him as royalty via Prince, Dom, Prince Imperial or all three or a combination of them. Hungary legally doesn’t allow you to change gender so if we have Viktor Orban declaring he is female today what do we do, do we call him a “male” as he is under the law, do we say he is a self styled “female”, do we use male or female categories. In this article we have a person who thinks he’s a Prince is regarded as such by multiple reliable sources so how do we deal with these issues where there is a conflict between the majority of reliable sources saying one thing and the legal reality of a single country. What would you do with the Greeks who are universally known by there royal title even though they may have been born after Greece abolished its monarchy, are we supposed to just invent a name for them they are very clear they do not have a surname. So Keivan I think we will never see consistency across Wikipedia we will have infinite discussions some will go one way others the other and maybe go back and forth, unfortunately some people are so against something to the point of irrational which is a symptom of culture wars, social media which were lacking in the early days of Wikipedia. There is no interest in improving these articles because you can read the contempt some hold them in, in the comments in this discussion it’s purely an ideological anti royalty issue. Someone like Ferdinand Habsburg (racing driver) should absolutely be at that title rather than Archduke Ferdinand of Austria because that is not how he is known nor is it what he is known for. - dwc lr (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @JoelleJay Fair enough. Though I would have loved to see these RS that establish his legal name (which is irrelevant to be honest, what matters is his common name). But, if the common name in English and Portuguese excludes the title "prince" then we have no choice but to go with what the sources say. Though as I said earlier, I always take WP:TITLECON into consideration when dealing with cases like this, and it is not really helpful that the article on his brother is at Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza. It's as if Wikipedia is suggesting that there's a difference in rank between the two brothers, which we all know is not the case. That's what I was trying to point out earlier.

- Again yet another “I don’t like it” based on a personal viewpoint not grounded in any sources. Why do these Brazilian government sources call him Dom and Prince Imperial of Brazil or S.A.I.R Dom (His Imperial & Royal Highness). I must of missed the change of policy but If personal views, not reliable sources are shaping Wikipedia, god help it as it will give Russia Today a run for its money in pumping out fake news and fringe views. - dwc lr (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
