 * Keep a flag rank officer and a member of the National Constituent Assembly of 1789 and the Assembly of Notables. The bias here is that there seem to be few English language sources. EricSerge (talk) 02:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, he was a reigning duke within the Holy Roman Empire; head of the still extant, mediatized House of Croÿ, one of Belgium's three historically most powerful families (along with the Croÿs' patrilineal kinsmen, the Prince-Dukes d'Arenberg and the Princes de Ligne); a high-ranking military officer in the service of the ancien régime who survived the French Revolution; and a multi-national fixture of the courts of Paris, Vienna and Brussels, husband of a princess of a family of equally high rank, trans-national wealth and allegiance during the era when nationalism emerged as the defining force of Europe. A cursory scan confirms that he is the subject of published biographtical information, e.g. in the Dutch Nobility's official supplement of 1855. More info on his role and deeds in European history during a time of critical change is likely to be found with more in depth research of the memoirs and scholarly studies of his era and locale.

 * Keep. I can't speak to WP:SOLDIER, but he meets WP:NPOL twice over as a sovereign prince and a member of a national legislature.--Andreas Philopater (talk) 17:28, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep He clearly meets the notability guidelines for soldiers. I think this article could be expanded with more details. We would also be helped with an article on the place he was prince of that is now in France as a principality. His domain after 1797 also might be worth having a seperate article on as a princely domain.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
