Fails WP:NBIO. I have requested this article to be restored because the requested speedy deletion by Clifford Mill was wrong, and the article should be nominated here at AfD instead. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 00:57, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Vote for deletion This article I suggested for deletion on 30 March 2016 has been resuscitated. Now a proved child of Mrs Fitzherbert and George IV would indeed be highly notable, but in the 180 years since she died nobody has found any evidence and no claim has been accepted. For, like this one, they are fantasies. I would ask you to consider the quality of the feeble proofs offered in the article:
 * The claim of royal descent comes from Barnes' extensive personal journal, which establishes that she believed herself to be the daughter of King George IV; the yet unpublished, and personally held document is reported to contain details and dates that corroborate the claim.

If this alleged document contains corroboration, why is it not available for public scrutiny?
 * ''There is apparent current lack of available historical evidence connecting Lowe to George and Fitzherbert, and also of evidence of financial or other support going to Lowe.”

The lack of evidence amounts to no evidence. Are we really meant to believe the following flaky sources: The only sensible option in my view is, yet again, to delete the article. Clifford Mill (talk) 18:05, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * a self-published Facebook page?
 * a Reality TV fan site?
 * a gravestone erected in 2009 by descendants promoting the claim?


 * Delete - Fails WP:NFRINGE. It's adorable that someone made her a Facebook profile, linked to her Wikipedia article, and then sourced the Wikipedia article to Facebook, but this is FRINGE OR par excellence. Timothy Joseph Wood  20:21, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails completely for all the abovementioned reasons. It appears that the so-called 'journal' was written by Hannah's daughter Ann at Bristol in 1901. In 1851 she said that she was born at Coventry and only later changed her story. Hannah Harrison Lowe was almost certainly the daughter of William Lowe and Hannah Harrison who married at Holy Trinity Church, Coventry, on 30 July 1791, details published on my website in 2012, but completely ignored.
