A vast majority of people in Belgium would shrug if asked about a "Maria Laura". She is one of the five children of the sister of the Belgian king. Despite having been granted the title of princess as a child, Maria Laura was raised without expectation of any public role and has never been of much interest to reputable media outlets. Even in Belgian tabloids, she is featured less than the ex-girlfriends of the British Prince Harry. Google search results come almost exclusively from blogs, forums, and image hosting websites. All in all, the subject is a private person of no apparent notability. Surtsicna (talk) 13:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to her mother, Princess Astrid of Belgium. This article is pretty much devoid of sources, as neither of the two linked pages actually finds anything, much less anything biographically significant. If she receives more significant coverage in the future, the article can be re-created later. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Princess Astrid of Belgium#Marriage and issue or delete unless sources confirming independent notability surface. TJMSmith (talk) 04:33, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to mother's article, unless/until it too is deleted. No independent notability, but worth a redirect (plus redirects from other names). PamD 09:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
