Wedding of Prince Leka II and Elia Zaharia

This was not a notable event by any stretch of imagination. Both the groom and the bride are notable in their own right, but they are not nearly notable enough for their wedding to be a notable event. We do have articles on some weddings, involving members of reigning royal families. In this case, however, the groom is the son of a man who was the son of a man who was king briefly. So only one person in the entire extended family was ever king of Albania, he reigned for only ten years, and he had to leave the country 80 years ago. That makes his grandson's wedding a rather ordinary society event. Thousands of weddings of film stars, musicians, sportsmen, politicians, businessmen etc. would be at least as notable as this event. The lack of any real sources also makes it clear that is passed by unnoticed in media. Jeppiz (talk) 22:09, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Elia Zaharia's article may already have too much information on this wedding, but there is no reason to have a stand alone article on the wedding.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:42, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A wedding in this obscure European ex-royal dynasty can't remotely be regarded as an event having lasting historical significance per WP:EVENT. Fiachra10003 (talk) 11:05, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - it's a bit much for ex-royalty, although the invitation list makes it a major event. Bearian (talk) 00:32, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
