Descendants of James VI and I

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:NOTGENEALOGY: Wikipedia is not a directory of genealogical entries. I fail to see the context behind this topic. James is not known for being the great-great-great-grandfather of, say, Louis XV of France, nor is Louis notable for being James's great-great-great-grandson. The link between James and the reigning monarchs of Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands is also not notable, as evidenced by the lack of reliable sources pointing out the link.

 * Keep I know it meets WP:NOTABLE and WP:GNG. Family descendants of a famous person are usually notable. – Cupper 52 Discuss! 12:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * How exactly do you know that? Family of a famous person are explicitly not inherently notable. Please see WP:INVALIDBIO. Surtsicna (talk) 14:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The individuals are notable. The topic itself is not. DrKay (talk) 22:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agree with nom and DrKay. ww2censor (talk) 11:56, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Family of notable people in history are not, themselves, inherently notable. Therefore, unless each person in this list received SIGCOV in independent and reliable sources outside of their connection to those they descended from then they do not pass the basic notability requirements laid out in WP:N. -- A Rose Wolf ( Talk ) 15:47, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this is an inhernt violation of not genealogy guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
