Seven years ago, the article was kept rather than deleted because "reliable sources were added". The reliable sources cited in the article, however, do not indicate that the subject is notable. They are genealogical publications that confirm only her existence and relationships to other people. That does not qualify as " significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", i.e. the article does not pass WP:GNG. I cannot find anything about her in either English- or German-language media. Surtsicna (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I think a number of Wikipedians are trying to reduce the amount of "deposed monarchy cruft", particularly in relation to the former royal family of the Kingdom of Hanover, which was annexed by Prussia way back in 1866. This person did survive a previous deletion discussion back in 2013, but the most serious argument could have been that she took part in a marriage between the descendants of Queen Victoria and Christian IX, hardly a serious claim to notability.

 * Delete We need an end of this deposed monarchy cruft. Being in a marriage that gets some notice is not in any way, shape, means or form a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:30, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete  - I strongly agree with the nom and the other comments above. Smeat75 (talk) 15:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. When the only sections in a modern person's article are "Marriage and issue", "Titles and styles", and "Ancestry", that person is not notable. JoelleJay (talk) 21:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and the other comment above. Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 11:14, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the article on her husband, Andreas, Prince of Leiningen. A seems appropriate here: while there is consensus a standalone article on the subject is not needed, a redirect to her husband's article (where she is mentioned) seems preferrable over deletion per WP:ATD-R. --Dps04 (talk) 18:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
