Queen Kanti of Nepal → Kanti Devi Shah – The conventions at WP:NCROY indicate the a recently deceased consort should have this name. However, this consort has been deceased for a while now and I think the original surname is the best title unless there is a another WP:COMMONNAME regarding what the title should be.

Oppose for lack of better alternatives proposed to the existing title. NCROY is an extremely eurocentric guideline which does not even pretend to be applicable universally. WP:COMMONNAME is the prevailing guideline here, and WP:CONSORTS (Deceased consorts are referred to by a name by which they are commonly known) and WP:NCROY#Names and titles outside the West (When there is no naming convention for a given set of names and titles, and no widespread problem of disambiguation, Wikipedia's general practice is to use the most common form in English as the article title.) clearly support this view. The subject's full name is Kanti Rajyalakshmi Devi Shah; picking and choosing permutations of fewer words is WP:OR which needs to be, if nothing else, informed and logical. In other words, better argument than just a guess is needed. I am open to supporting proposals argued per COMMONNAME, with analysis of sources. Regards!

Oppose If you read WP:NCROY you will see that there is no convention in relation to deceased queens consort. It may not be decisive whether this person has been deceased recently for a while. If it ain't broke don't fix it, and the current title is clearer. PatGallacher (talk) 17:40, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
