Requested move
Talk:Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia - Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia → Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia - A move of this exact nature was done for his grandson, George Frederick of Prussia, as he was the head of the Royal House of Hohenzollern (Prussian line) as his grandson is now. The same treatment is used with the Hanoverians. Charles 19:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Support As per above and the results of the move at George Frederick, Prince of Prussia. Charles 19:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Question: since Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia doesn't seem to exist, why bother with all the apparatus of a Requested move?  Just be bold and move it.  Is there some larger issue of consistency here? --Saforrest 08:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Naming
Why is the name Ludwig put into its French form, Louis, and not its English form, Lewis? An article about a German in an English language encyclopedia doesn't seem a suitable site for names to be translated into French.

That's because his given name in German is "Louis", not "Ludwig". He was named for Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, whose given names indeed included "Ludwig", but was known as "Louis Ferdinand" in order to distinguish him from several brothers and cousins with very similar names. 217.236.6.100 (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

What about Friedrich Wilhelm?
Why wasn't Friedrich Wilhelm the heir if he was the oldest son? The absence of a death date for him suggests he's still alive.

Why Prince?
The Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire no longer exist. Why title these people as Prince. Any more than I can (and I can) make a claim to Princehood through distant ancestors, the Kingdom no longer exists.Twasonasummersmorn (talk) 11:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
