Line of succession to the former throne of Travancore

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This kingdom has been defunct since 1949. This completely unsourced article looks like unverifiable original research, including about the supposed royal status of living persons (WP:BLP). See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Compare Articles for deletion/Line of succession to the former Austro-Hungarian throne for a similar case. Norden1990 (talk) 22:06, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because the princely state itself doesn't even exist anymore.

 * Delete per nom and TompaDompa. The article does not cite RS and I don't believe this could be verifiably sourced and not contain substantial WP:OR | WP:SYNTH.  // Timothy ::  talk  07:19, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sourced solely to a deprecated SPS. Note these princely state succession articles (or most of the people listed in them) do not have equivalents in Hindi or Malayalam etc. so their verifiability is unlikely. JoelleJay (talk) 23:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and the other comment above. Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 13:59, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per what I wrote at Articles for deletion/Line of succession to the former throne of Vadodara (Baroda): "per nom, WP:SNOW, and WP:OUTCOMES. The consensus developed has been that heirs of defunct states, especially non-sovereign one, are not notable. It's ultra-unlikely that this will ever become independent, re-create its monarchy, and find the missing heirs." Bearian (talk) 19:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
