I urge caution. Windsor is currently reigning; in this case the "House of .." is necessary for disambiguation purposes. How important does a family have to be in order to be "House of ..."? Is
Hohenlohe important enough? How about
Rothschild or
Hearne?

Oppose. As per Septentrionalis. Also, whether a dynasty is currently reigning or not seems to be good enough of a criterion.

There have been a number of moves to include "House" in the names of dynasties. I have initiated a few of them, others have moved other ones. A number of the moves have been from terms containing "dynasty" to ones containing "house" and others have been moved from the bare house name. Wittelsbach itself is only a name. This is an article about the House of that name. It makes sense to me to have it here. In fact, I would not have even put it up for the Nov 2006 RM.

Since none of the Jacobite claimants outside the House of Stuart has publicly taken up the claim to the English and Scottish thrones, it is effectively fan fiction, even if it's worth a passing mention in the text as a fringe theory. It gives these claims grossly
undue weight to mention them in the infobox.

When something is written about in numerous scholarly sources, it is not "fan fiction" or a "fringe theory". Wikipedia is based on sources, not the private opinions of editors. (But I agree regarding the infobox).
