This throne has been defunct since 1946. 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 monarchy doesn't exist anymore. See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. There are also WP:BLP concerns about the people who are listed here, including four minors.

So basically, the same reasons as the previous 32 lines of succession to defunct thrones that have been deleted recently (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32). TompaDompa (talk) 13:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The throne is defunt. 32 discussions show that there is no reason to have these articles presenting an unreal thing as if it is real.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article doesn't try to claim that someone is the heir to the former Italian throne, instead it presents the claims of the two pretenders. The succession has evidently been the source of real-world media controversy including lawsuits and assaults, which suggests to me that it's an encyclopedic topic. Possibly we could rename or restructure it to make it about the history of the Italian royal family since 1946. Hut 8.5 17:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The dispute over the headship of the House of Savoy properly belongs at House of Savoy, and is already described there. TompaDompa (talk) 20:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK, I'd be happy with the relevant content being merged there. Hut 8.5 06:35, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete , the entire premise of such articles is original research and inaccurate fantasy. Thrones that don't exist don't have lines of succession to them.Smeat75 (talk) 19:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom --Devokewater (talk) 19:26, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom and Smeat75. The rules for monarchical succession ceased to operate when the monarchy did. Agricolae (talk) 23:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as there's no throne to be in line of succession for. GoodDay (talk) 16:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after using the content to fill out House_of_Savoy#House_of_Savoy_today and King of Italy#Kings in pretense (since 1946), both these allude to the rival claims to be head of the House of Savoy. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the content is merged somewhere else then it can't be deleted afterwards for attribution reasons. Hut 8.5 17:56, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, long defunct throne to which succession is theoretical.--Hippeus (talk) 12:47, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
