Stolberg family → House of Stolberg – The move from House of Dahn to Dahn family was not discussed and these are contentious moves (see unresolved discussions here and here). Moreover the logic for the move is wrong on two counts. First, the convention "House of" is not restricted to 'sovereign ruling families' if that term implies royalty - see dynasty which clearly implies it refers to nobility of any rank. Second, the German Wiki convention is to use Foo (Adelsgeschlecht) (lit. "Foo (noble family)") for their nobility. The English translation is not "Foo (family)" or "Foo family".
