HRH Prince Pinadu of Coron

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BIO. The adopted son of Apo Rodolfo Aguilar, the "king" of a tribe of 10,000 people. He has lots of titles, orders, ..., but all from fringe societies and families, the kind of descendants (or claimed descendants) of long dethroned noble families who still pretend that the world hasn't changed, and keep on fêting each other without any reliable sources taking note of these princes, grand masters, knights, and so on (he is e.g. supposed to be a "Duke of the Holy Roman Empire"... One of the sources given is the "Apostolic Commission for Royalty and Nobility", which is not some official Vatican State institution, but a very obscure group which is only referenced by similar obscure groups. Similarly, the Sulu Royal Family members" site is not as important as it may sound. There are different claimants for the "sulu royal family", and the Aranan branch is not really the most broadly discussed one Basically, this is a kind of walled garden of self-proclaimed royal and princely families.

 * Delete per nom. Non-notable figure, unencyclopedic article. Keb25 (talk) 05:51, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probably one for WP:SNOW rather than anything more specific. --Legis (talk - contribs) 05:11, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Passes neither WP:PROF nor WP:BIO. If we go far back enough, many of us will find out that we are descendants of famous figures. As for titles, this reminds me a bit of this person, who created his own article here only to have it deleted after an embarrassing WikiCourt discussion (which I can no longer find).--Eric Yurken (talk) 21:45, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
