Weak support the noble title has 2,054 views but the surname has 253, the crater has 83, the Iowa place has 26, Ritter Sport has 4,697 and the island has 862[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Weak support, My instinct is yes, but I am a little wary of the "noble" monicker in the title. In most countries, a knight is not a member of the nobility, but merely gentry. I couldn't verify the allegation in this article that a "Ritter" is included in "nobility" in German hierarchy (as this article claims), as there is no German Wiki equivalent to this page. The German titles page is ambiguous, suggest "Ritter" may have been in south German nobility but is excluded from the official "Handbuch des Adels". So my temptation would be to move only to "Ritter (title)", and leave the question of whether it is noble or not to the text. Walrasiad (talk) 07:40, 26 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
