Descendants of Gustav II Adolf

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Violates WP:NOT (Wikipedia is not a genealogical repository). Also unprecedented, we are much more likely to include a person's ancestry rather than their descendants on Wikipedia. Also violates WP:OR and is not properly sourced ("various" being a word used). The article is not an encyclopedic topic and many of the descendants are not notable (in fact, most of them are not). If the fact that the King has descendants is notable then it belongs in his article but we don't list descendants here in Wikipedia as in this article.Charles 20:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

*Delete As the article 'Gustav II Adolf' is currently named 'Gustavus Adolphus'. GoodDay (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As nominator. Charles 20:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Question - wait, is your delete argument that Gustav II Adolf should be switched to Gustavus Adolphus? Because that can be easily fixed in a page move if it's an issue, it doesn't require deletion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt91486 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Quite true, therefore I'm changing my opinon. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support In hopes the 'Gustavus Adolphus' article will someday be restored as 'Gustav II Adolf'. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support deletion? Charles 01:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think he's changed his opinion to Keep. D.M.N. (talk) 16:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Matt91486. D.M.N. (talk) 16:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That user did not express an opinion on whether the page should be kept or not. Also, if you read Wikipedia's policies, there is no place for this article. Charles 18:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, 19:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete This might be more appropriately located in a genealogoical database such as Ancestry.com. but the individuals in the genealogical directory listing appear to be non-notable for the most part. Gustavus Adolphus was a notable individual, but that notability does not transfer to every descendant. Edison (talk) 23:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * merge with Gustav II Adolf. there is no reason to have a separate article for this person's genealogy. --Asmodeus Samael (talk) 00:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * merge with Gustav II Adolf.Veliky Kniaz (talk) 04:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * User's second edit. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unreadable, incomplete, and likely always to remain so. The descendants of George I of the United Kingdom fill a book (literally) and the offspring of Gustavus Adolphus have had a century longer. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
