According to the Egyptologists Kim Ryholt, Jürgen Beckerath, and Darrell Baker, he was the twelfth king of the Eighth Dynasty.

[1][2][3] The name Neferkare VI Pepiseneb is attested on the Abydos King List (number 51), but not elsewhere.

The epithet Khered given to Neferkare Pepiseneb in the Turin canon means "child" or "young".

Hratch Papazian proposes that the fact that the king was called Khered on the Turin canon hints at his youthful age upon ascending to the throne.

According to Ryholt's latest reading of the Turin canon, Neferkare VI Pepiseneb reigned at least one year.
