Talk:Mr William Collins

Consistency?
On 11 February 2012, Ruby2010 moved "Mr. William Collins" to "William Collins (Pride and Prejudice)" ‎ (Consistency with Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet). But "FitzWilliam Darcy" is a redirect to Mr. Darcy, so there was no consistency. Scolaire (talk) 09:56, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Background section
I deleted the following information, which was unsourced, and as far as I can tell, completely false. It's certainly not stated as such in the novel: ''While he is the current heir presumptive to Longbourn, the estate of his distant, gentry cousin, Mr Bennet, as Mr Bennet has no sons to inherit Longbourn; but if, before his death, one of Mr Bennet's daughters should be able to present him with a grandson, said-grandson would then become the new heir presumptive of the entailment, a grandson taking precedence over a distant cousin, by virtue of being his closest living male blood relative. This is likely why Mr Collins' late father, Mr Collins Sr, before his death, urged his son to "mend the rift" with the Bennets; for if his son were to be the husband of one of Mr Bennet's daughters, it would reinforce Collins' claim to Longbourn (making Collins' inheriting Longbourn less objectionable to the Bennets), and furthermore if he were to be the father of said-grandson.''
