Contested PROD - This article seems to be based on genealogy. The sources do not provide the significant coverage required by the notability standard. Notability is not inherited. Utterman (talk) 21:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC) Utterman (talk) 21:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: No evidence of this person's notability has been presented.  Ravenswing  17:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * He was Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein. How is that "no evidence of notability"? - The Bushranger One ping only 00:11, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete This appears to be a non-notable biography. Having said that; there is a precedent for inherited notability in some of the British aristocracy articles. I agree with the premise that notability is not inherited.Stormbay (talk) 22:26, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notability is not inherited - but nobility is. Being a prince, I'd argue that he becomes notable for that fact alone.
