[edit] Move from Princess Alexandra von Fürstenberg

According to the Genealogisches Handbuch Des Adels Fürstlich Häuser of 1991, the last time the House of Fürstenberg was included in what is widely regarded as the most authoritative genealogical source on royal and noble houses still in print, the marriage of (the late) Prince Egon zu Fürstenberg to Diane Halfin is accepted by the family as dynastic. The son of that marriage is listed with the rest of the family in the second section (non-dynastic issue are listed in the third section, when included at all) on page 261, as "Pr. Alexandre Egon, * New York 16.2.1979". Unless there is some evidence that the marriage of Alexandre Egon to Alexandra Miller was non-dynastic, the grounds cited for moving this article are factually incorrect and a revert is in order.

If the basis for moving the article is that "zu" was used with the princely title instead of "von", then the correct particule could easily have been substituted rather than the entire article moved.

But if the basis for moving the article is that the subject thereof actually uses "Alexandra von Fürstenberg" and does not use the princely title (other than in purely American venues), fine: so long as this now becomes the applicable precedent when other biographical entries are named in compliance with their subjects' (or guardians') apparent preference, rather than in conformity with some other rule or rationale, e.g. Bismarck, Lady Louise Windsor, Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst, etc.Lethiere 07:40, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
