Ernst-Johann Biron, Prince of Courland

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another article which consists solely of a genealogical record. I redirected his mother's article (same issue) to her father, Prince Oskar of Prussia, the closest relative with a decent article, but there is no obvious redirect here. I propose deletion, citing WP:NOTINHERITED. Tone 18:05, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wow, a "prince" whose family hasn't actually ruled for more than 140 years before he was born. No evidence of notability. —Kusma (t·c) 19:27, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Courland was merged into Russia in 1795. Hard to see how he is still a Prince of the realm. -- Whiteguru (talk) 05:17, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:GNG. KidAd   talk  05:19, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Normally I would consider heirs to the Heads of former royal seats as notable but in this case the Duchy of Courland was annexed into the Russian Empire in 1795, 120 years before WWI, which lead to the fall of monarchy across Europe . The article thus completely fails to establish WP:GNG in present times. TheRedDomitor (talk) 11:53, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete to countenance this article we will have to pretend the congress of Vienna in 1815 went a different way and restored this individuals family to power.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, Per above, does not satisfy notability. Alex-h (talk) 07:24, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
