– These are some of those situations where the WP:OBE exceptions apply: Peers who are almost exclusively known by their personal names. English-language sources and contemporary Spanish-sources tend to refer to those under their names rather than under their nobiliary titles (which, should be noted, were awarded to them after becoming prime ministers and after having already become notable on their own right). Would be a similar case to Baldomero Espartero in that the titles were a reward for the actions that made them become widely-known, rather than the reason making these people notable.

 * Support. Srnec (talk) 15:15, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Another case in which concision suggests dropping the nobiliary title. The most common way these men were addressed was probably by their surname and their military condition (General/Marshal). Nobiliary titles are secondary (something to mention somewhere rather than the way to refer to the subjects, particularly in recent historiography, not to say that the occasions when they are addressed inline by the nobiliary title in sources the numeral is never mentioned). PS: Besides the very common unneeded addition of the nobiliary title in many occasions (as in acting as if WP:CONCISE did not exist), I am becoming increasingly convinced that the use of numerals in the case of Spanish nobility for Wikipedia titles is pretty much always cruftesque and often also problematic from an accuracy standpoint.--Asqueladd (talk) 09:55, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Done. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:25, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

He was born at Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, a son...?
Is this grammatically correct? At? Shouldn't be "He was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife"? Akiraric (talk) 02:01, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
