Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG; no claim to notability is made in the article. Also nominating the following article (Lord Downpatrick's sister) for the same reasons:

Notability is not inherited, we don't have articles for every great-great-grandchild of a king. Marvello123 (talk) 10:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment Seems to fail WP:GNG but while considering a redirect, I'm not sure if his father George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews is notable either - that's purely a courtesy title as George's father Prince Edward, Duke of Kent is the actual hereditary earl (the duke is notable). --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:11, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The Earl of St Andrews seems to have done more than just exist – he's a university chancellor and seems to have done a bit of charity work – so I'm not completely confident in nominating him for deletion. However I have discovered that Edward Windsor's equally non-notable sister Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor also has an article, which I've attached to this nomination.

 * Merge both to George_Windsor,_Earl_of_St_Andrews. Children who don't meet notability standards should have any encyclopedic merged to that of their notable relative, usually a parent for nobility. Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:44, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge both Edward and Marina to George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews as already discussed. Two children who have no more than the media coverage you'd expect for relatives of minor royals. They haven't done anything out of the ordinary themselves, and the only point of interest is their religion, which doesn't require separate articles; it's already discussed in the articles on the line of the succession. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:34, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, but I won't oppose a merger if that is the consensus. Bearian (talk) 00:20, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Outcome seems to be leaning towards merging the Edward Windsor article, but the consensus on whether to merge Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor to me is still unclear.
 * Keep Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor at least. A quick google suggests that articles about her have been published in The Telegraph and Tatler (at least twice once; there's a coming-out-type article in 2010 and a cover story in 2016 ; sorry for the DM links); hardly mere gossip sites. I do think that these articles should have been nominated separately. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:12, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, muddling my royals. Her sister Amelia does seem to be a little better known, but I do support retaining this article. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:20, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge both, and turn current links into redirects. If in the future more sources can be found to document notability, all we have to do is tap the rollback button on the inidividual articles and update the article. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  13:25, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
