contested prod; unsourced; original research; duplicative of other lists of English and British monarchs; orphaned DrKiernan (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Strikes me as a non-notable intersection. NickCT (talk) 20:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Extremely repetitive, both internally and of other articles, and redundant, limiting its encyclopedic value (if any). If there is any necessity for something like this, it could be better handled by a category. Agent 86 (talk) 22:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete; content wholly redundant to actual list of monarchs, also not a distinct topic. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete; for all the reasons given above. (Also arbitrary in only showing this information for the 13 colonies that joined to form the USA, as if those were the only British colonies ever to exist in North America, e.g. Plymouth, New Haven, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland; and if that is what the list is to be, why are only the British monarchs of New York relevant and not the Dutch of New Netherlands?) Total WP:Listcruft. Agricolae (talk) 00:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete -- This is a completely pointless article. The monarchs were kings or queens of Great Britain (or England), and became morach over the colnies at exactly the same time they succeeded to the crwon of GB etc. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Utterly pointless. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
