Apparently this obviously non-notable article needs to be brought here. Alexandra de Scheel is wholly non-notable for the purposes of inclusion on Wikipedia. Whatever makes her notable (it is certainly not apparent) could just as well make the average stranger on the street notable. There is nothing to warrant an article for her and indeed, even real princesses have had their articles deleted (Princess Tatiana of Leiningen, for instance) and this person only has a maternal link to royalty and a tenuous claim of being a very minor noble herself. Until she marries a king or finds a cure for cancer, I can't see any reason for the article. Charles 13:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Isn't attending City University enough to satisfy WP:BIO? --Evb-wiki 15:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm guessing that even if she is a Princess, she's not an important one. Seems like just another college student to me. -- Cyrus      Andiron   15:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Deleteper WP:BIO. Poor thing has to suffer the indignity of being referred to as "Princess Alexandra de Scheele" in the "mass media", then have the author of this article make the SAME MISTAKE!--Sethacus 22:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons given above. Maternal link to the House of Reuss is hardly sufficient to confer notability. Choess 02:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Google news for some reason failed to even index a single article from those "mass media" and nothing else hints at notability. --Allefant 09:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I arrived at this page several times after attempting to find more information than the library books contain about Alexandra de Scheel for a school project on her family. She is actually becoming the central focus of the project because she is directly related to so many hugely relevant royals in history (and directly related, from father to mother to father etc). Her great grandparents include Catherine the Great, King Leopold of Belgium, Carlotta Empress of Mexico, all the Romanovs, Saxon-Weimer, Gotha, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, all the way back to Faulk the King of Jerusulam. I found it interesting that no matter which direction I go back (going only through parent to parent relations, never husband/wife/step children or half children or aunts or uncles or cousins) I found the most important names in history. Howver, I did not think that the blood link was less due to whetrher the parent I went back through was male or female. Of course, it isn't. I am now switching the topic of my school paper to "Sexism of the old ages alive and well today in the new". Even despite the old age ways of being, she can still be found in both the Dutch and British Lines of Succession (and those you don't need to look at the Burke Royal book or other library BOOKS to find her in... that she is even in online, as is her entire family line. You just need to go back /click back from Alexandra de Scheel -DAUGHTER of- Princess Antoinette Reuss -DAUGHTER of- Prince Heinrich Reuss III -SON of - Princess Sofie Renata Reuss -DAUGHTER of- Princess Marie Alexandria Anne Sofia August Helene von Sachsen Weimer Eisenech -DAUGHTER of- Princess Sofie of the Netherlands -DAUGHTER of-King Willem II of the Netherlands & Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of Russia -DAUGHTER of Emperor Paul I Tsar of Russia -SON of Tsar Peter III of Russia and Catherine the Great She is in both the line of succession Netherlands royal crown and the line of succession for the British royal throne due to another great grandparent Countess Augusta Reuss who was the MOTHER of King Ferdinand of Portugal Leopold of Belgium FATHER of the first King of Belgium King Leopold of Belgium and Carlota Empress of Mexico the MOTHER of Queen Victoria Ernest/ Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, FATHER of Prince Albert, as well as the wife of Grand Duke and Czar Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia(who Alexandra is related to through her great grandfather Paul I, though she is more closely and and direct lineage to the Romanov throne than the Pavlovich dynasty). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:6083:BC00:891B:56C6:37D9:3249 (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
