WP:NOTGENEALOGY/WP:NOTINHERITED. The sum total of what is known about him is a set of old pedigrees that say Ine had a brother Ingold, Eoppa Ingolding, Eafa Eopping, Eahlmund Eafing, Ecgberht Ealmunding. (Ine had brother Ingold, Eoppa was son of Ingold, Eafa was son of Eoppa, Ealmund was son of Eafa, Ecgberht son of Eahlmund). We don't know a single biographical fact - the birthdate given on the page is made up and everything else on the page is just genealogical context for someone about whom nothing can be said other than genealogical context and we know one thing he wasn't - he doesn't appear on the list of kings. The page for his father already redirects to Ine of Wessex and that of his son already redirects to Ecgberht, King of Wessex. Surely it takes more than knowing someone had a father and a son and wasn't a king to justify a page. I would suggest a Redirect to List of monarchs of Wessex#House of Wessex family tree, or perhaps to Ecgberht. Agricolae (talk) 02:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect This individual fails to meet the standards outlined in the general notability guideline. The article can only exist as a redirect to the House of Wessex family tree. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 11:33, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of articles on non-notable people to connect how notable people are related. Mentioning Eoppa in another article might be worth while, but a free standing article is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
REdirect to List of monarchs of Wessex#House of Wessex family tree. Whether he was or was not notable is impossible to determine, because we known absolutely nothing about him, except that he appears as a link in genealogies. This is better than deleting, as someone may search for the name. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
