Prince Oskar of Prussia (b. 1959)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article does not cite any sources except to refer to an article in the German wp and does not meet WP:BIO guidelines, being about a person who is only noted for being "sixth in succession" to a non-existent throne. Smeat75 (talk) 05:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the nominator's pointing out that he is 6th in the succession to an abolished throne. This seems close enough to the pretender status for me to count him as notable. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:04, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently notable enough as Master of the Order of Saint John. I don't see any relevance of the fantasy title of 6th in line to whatever nonexistent throne. —Kusma (t·c) 14:45, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Kusma. Acting as a leader of an order of chivalry could be enough for notability, although merely being royalty is not sufficient, as I've stated elsewhere. Bearian (talk) 22:33, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as is mandatory for a WP:BLP with zero sources after a week of AfD. As regards notability, holding fantasy titles doesn't count in the light of WP:GNG, only coverage in reliable sources does. Sandstein 06:51, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Regarding your first point, not true as none of the material here is contentious. Regarding your second, it isn't a "fantasy title". That's clearly a POV statement. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:27, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - His claims to the throne of Germany have as much legal value as mine. —Kusma (t·c) 13:57, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete (1) All material challenged is required to be sourced by the letter of WP:BLP. (2) An AFD is specifically challenging all of the information in an article. (3) The addition of sources to this article has not happened in over a week, and the sources available at the German Wikipedia would not stand to back up this article. Therefore, based on this reasoning the article should be removed promptly as stated by Sandstein. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 21:14, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
