Elliott James Windsor

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This appears to be a hox, though I'll admit the genealogy of the royals is hard to keep track of. That and the BLP implications have me bringing it here directly for consideration rather than CSD or Prod. I can't find any information to support most of what's in this article. The smoking gun for me seems to be that he claims to be the grandson of Prince William of Gloucester, with the 1972 plane crash being the link. I can't find any evidence that William had any children, which makes the rest of the lineage rather suspect. Arakunem Talk 23:39, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete G3 The page has been recreated after being G3d once, going through the motions of AfD might be worth it. Line of succession to the British throne clearly disproves the claims. Only searches returned the cached deleted page and the user page of the author. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 01:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: the Prince William of Gloucester who died in the plane crash was a batchelor and had no offspringBBC report of his death]. The title passed to his brother Prince Richard of Gloucester, the second son of Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Princess Alice.  Richard has three children (two girls and a boy, Alexander) Sourced direct from the official website of the British monarchy.  Alice had only two children, William and Richard, there is no Henry for this chappie to be descended from.  At the time of her death, she was survived by her son and three grandchildren - ie Richard and his offspring Obituary of Princess Alice in the Guardian.  Can we speedy this now please.Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ETA - note also that there is no Duke of Sussex listed at royal.gov.uk. This is because the last Duke died without offspring in 1843 and the title has not been awarded again. See Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex.  The title Earl of Sussex has been awarded more recently.  The last incumbent Alastair Windsor, 2nd Duke of Connaught and Strathearn died without issue in 1943.  There is speculation that one of these titles will be awarded to Prince William, as he will not receive the title Duke of Edinburgh royal.gov.uk again which will go to his uncle, Prince Edward, when Charles succeeds to the throne.Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - the author has now cut the article back to a single sentence: "Elliott James Windsor, Earl of Hertfordshire is the only child of HRH the Duke of Sussex, who was born on 15th September 1960", but that is still fantasy - the title "Duke of Sussex" became extinct in 1843 - see Duke of Sussex.
