The result of the move request was: Moved - Consensus that this specific person should be known by their highest title.(non-admin closure) FOARP (talk) 09:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca → Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz – The kingship was the highest position he held and would therefore appear to be the proper title. Векочел (talk) 01:39, 21 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. VR _talk 07:40, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support although Sherif/Sharif has an edge as commonname, that very likely has to do with the amount of literature concerning his dealings with Britain such as the McMahon Hussein correspondence before he was recognized by the allies as King of the Hejaz (should include "the", I think) at the end of 1916. There is a separate page for the Sharif title itself so maybe no redirect/no disambiguation is correct.Selfstudier (talk) 10:30, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
