Entirely made-up name that is never used. DrKay (talk) 07:30, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment The fi.wp article says (transl.) "{{tq|The electoral document called Friedrich Karl by the name Fredrik Kaarle.[111]}}" with the citation pointing to page 13 of Riitta Sihvonen's 1997 book Valtaistuin vapaana: Kysymys korkeimman vallan käytöstä Suomessa 1918–1919 which I don't have access to. Google books also has a bunch of hits for "Fredrik Kaarle". Based on the quotations in the fi.wp article, the name also seems to have been used by the Parliament of Finland at the time. So this seems to turn into a question of whether the "I of Finland" suffix is appropriate/relevant. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:28, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I did some minor research on this topic a year or so ago, and I'm convinced that Kingdom of Finland (1918) should be moved or merged to something like "Attempt to establish a Finnish monarchy" or "Aftermath of the Finnish Civil War". The monarchy was a proposal, but it did not happen, and Finland was never a monarchy (despite the line currently in the lead section about "legally being a monarchy", which I don't believe to really be true). Fredrick Charles never accepted his Kingship of Finland nor even traveled to Finland at the time so his later renunciation of the title was more a "for the record" deal. Even if you accept Finland was a monarchy, they were a monarchy without a king. Lots of people are proposed as monarchs, but they need to actually rule to be monarchs.

- :With respect, this isn't about whether Finland actually was briefly a monarchy, but whether the name Fredrik Kaarle I of Finland is valid, and therefore justifies the redir. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:09, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Keep As {{u|Ljleppan}} says, the official election documents did refer to Friedrich Karl as Fredrik Kaarle. The [https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Karl fiwiki article on him] confirms this, citing another book, namely Anders Huldén's 1988 Kuningasseikkailu Suomessa 1918 (ISBN 951-26-2980-1). A quick search also nets a number of RS mentions from eg. [https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2011/04/20/fredrik-kaarle-oli-vain-tovin-suomen-kuninkaana-1918 YLE], [https://suomenkuvalehti.fi/jutut/kulttuuri/suomen-kuningas-kuoli/ Suomen Kuvalehti] and [https://www.vasabladet.fi/Artikel/Visa/560222 Vasabladet], as well as [https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd122424417.html?language=en Deutsche Biographie], all using the name Fredrik Kaarle. (Mind you, none of them append it with 'I of Finland', so if the point of this RfD was that specific part of the name, then I've no comment to offer.) --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:27, 30 March 2022 (UTC) Striking my earlier !vote, turns out I cannot read, apparently. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:45, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:*The redirect isn't Fredrik Kaarle. It is Frederik Kaarle. So the name is wrong as well as the suffix. DrKay (talk) 16:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:*:@DrKay — you know what? I didn't even notice the difference. I will be having words with myself. Thanks for pointing this out. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:42, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:*::On my part, I'm still somewhat on the fence, as "Frederik" (esp. in the context of Finnish names) is a rather likely misspelling of "Fredrik" - so much so that I didn't even notice until it was pointed out. In fact, if presented with the names in isolation I would have thought "Fredrik" to be the misspelt version. Ljleppan (talk) 07:54, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete as a name without a mention. Although the nomination is unclear as to whether the concern is with Frederik vs Fredrik, or Kaarle vs Charles, or with I of Finland, or all of these. The redirect Fredrik Kaarle already exists, so I guess it's the combination of wrong prefix and suffix that is the concern. Jay (talk) 21:57, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
