There is no indication of notability as defined by WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. The subject has received coverage only in genealogy publications but Wikipedia is not a genealogy database; see WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy. Surtsicna (talk) 11:01, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is nothing more than a genealogical record. The topic fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. There are no reliable sources independent of the subject that cover anything directly and indepth about this individual because they have done absolutely nothing notable. Being related to a public figure is not notable WP:INVALIDBIO WP:NOTINHERITED. Wikipedia is WP:NOTGENEALOGY of non-notable members in royal families. // Timothy :: talk 05:41, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Prince Ernest Augustus, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, per my comments Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Olga of Hanover, for similar reasons. Reasons: User:Bearian/Standards#Notability_of_Consorts_of_nobility, WP:GNG, and WP:CHEAP; his father was a member of the British House of Lords and minor royalty himself. I note he was unmarried, and avoided publicity either by way of scandal or charitable work, dying as a teenager of appendicitis, which was until c. 1902 almost always a deadly disease. Once again, tagging West Virginian for an opinion. Bearian (talk) 14:23, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Bearian and the many other applicable contributors, while I appreciate the intent behind the numerous alerts and notifications requesting my participation in these deletion requests for royal biography articles, I would respectfully like to decline involvement in these discussions. In the case of this article and others like it, I created or expanded them primarily between 2005 and 2009—well over ten years ago. I’ve now been a contributor to Wikipedia for over 15 years, and I have learned and grown a lot as a writer and editor during this time, especially in my compliance with Wikipedia’s guidelines and standards. In my opinion, it is clear that this article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, and I would not have published it today. With all that said, the continued alerts and notifications to these deletion discussions are like endless intercom announcements requesting my presence in the office of the principal or headmaster for an unnecessary reprimand. There is clearly consensus here, and in the other discussions, to delete or redirect the articles, so my participation is not helpful or useful. I would like to extend a thank you to Surtsicna for not involving me in these discussions. I thank you all for taking the time to assess these articles for their notability, and for taking action to delete or redirect them as consensus warrants. Moving forward, I ask that you continue to assess the notability of each of these articles and their compliance with Wikipedia guidelines as they currently exist. — West Virginian (talk) 19:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Bearian (talk) 14:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
