Talk:Tupou VI

line of succession
What is the order of succession now? Is Lavaka Ata 'Ulukalala now the Crown Prince? – Kaihsu 10:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That depends, if the CP is the heir-apparent (Ulukalala isn't). If the CP title is the next-in-line (heir-apparent or heir-presumptive) then he is (pending the King's marriage & birth of legitimate children). GoodDay 14:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see Line of succession to the Tongan Throne. – Kaihsu 14:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Can someone put in the article somewhere a phonetical translation of the name?Nam3witha3init 05:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Monarchial name
Should we add Tupou VI to the article title? GoodDay (talk) 03:50, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Defiantly, but it's on the title blacklist, possibly because people tried moving it there before he was king. I'll request the move now. Brightgalrs ( /braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/ )[1] 06:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was not moved. However, if he does choose a different regnal name, I suggest that a full RM is not required at that point. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:12, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho → ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho Tupou VI – All articles on past kings of Tonga have there monarchical name after their common name. ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho is king now, so his article's name should be changed. Brightgalrs ( /braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/ )[1] 06:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC) Question - Do we know if he going to keep his Tongan name as his regnal name, or is he going to adopt an English name like his brother? Canuck My page89 (talk), 06:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * He is already being called "Tupou VI", but he may indeed choose a particular regnal name to put in front of that. We should wait until it becomes clear exactly what his regnal name is going to be. Aridd (talk) 12:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * We could add Tupou VI to the article title. We can easily change the title again, if the King uses an english name. GoodDay (talk) 16:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * BBC calls him "King George Tupou VI". The previous kings of Tonga are generally referred to as "King George Tupou [XX]". No one else is using "ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho". Kauffner (talk) 01:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose This is likely to be his common name. We are not obliged to use monarch's full names (see Elizabeth II) or to refer to them how they are commonly known in their own country (see Hirohito). PatGallacher (talk) 10:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose If he has chosen Tupou VI as his regnal name, then I believe that should be the article title. Canuck My page89 (talk), 05:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Proclamation of the new King
Today the proclamation with the regnal name of the new king was published (see Announcement of the Passing of His Late Majesty & Proclamation of the New King). The Tonga Government Portal states: The Title for the New Monarch of Tonga will be His Majesty King Tupou VI, King of the Kingdom of Tonga. Therefore I moved the article to Tupou VI. Gugganij (talk) 18:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Brightgalrs ( /braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/ )[1] 02:19, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

The King's regnal name
According to the B.B.C.'s website, the King has chosen to be known as 'King George Tupou VI'.

Someone needs to seek confirmation of this from the Government of Tonga.

The English name of the monarch is in common use, even within Tonga. - (203.211.77.199 (talk) 05:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC))

Religion
Is His Majesty a member of the Maronite Church, or the Free Wesleyan Church? I believe there is conflicting information from this page and among others. 50.108.3.85 (talk) 04:45, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Tupou VI → ʻAhoʻeitu Tupou VI – The official name is ʻAhoʻeitu Tupou VI. Idh0854 (talk) 08:13, 20 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose (for now) because no evidence of official name - Please provide a case for the official name you suggest including reliable sourcing indicating that. The Ministry of Information and Communications for the Tonga Government has this site: http://www.mic.gov.to/royaltynobility which refers to him just as Tupou VI.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
