This is an unsourced genealogical directory of people who hypothetically would have been Grand Duke or Elector (or Landgrave or Prince?) of Hesse (it's unclear to which of these long-abolished titles an individual is supposed to succeed) had the Grand Duchy not been dissolved in 1918, itself having been created (with its heads being considered "titular landgraves") after the Electorate dissolved in 1866. The textual info is a generic description of semi-Salic law and the years each former polity was annexed/dissolved, while the lineage info is included (still unsourced) in
List_of_rulers_of_Hesse. There is no reason for this article to exist.

Delete per
WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to
reliable sources, including
neologisms,
original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves
hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to
WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because the Grand Duchy itself doesn't even exist anymore.

Delete Unsourced and probably unsourceable, for the same reasons as other lines of succession to defunct thrones.

Delete: The article does not cite RS and I don't believe this could be verifiably sourced and not contain substantial
