I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. This person is related to a notable person, but notability is not inherited. I'm also listing the following page for the same reason: Hjalmar Högquist Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 16:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC) Note:This is a bundle nomination.

 * Keep Notability as illegitimate son of king Oscar I of Sweden is well established, and of historical note. Proxy User (talk) 17:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Read WP:BIO. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 19:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And? That someone is of little interest to you does not define notable. The relationship establishes notability in the context of Wikipedia being an encyclopedia. There may indeed be a handful of people out there doing research into obscure European history. Clearly not you, but then there are probably 1000's of articles I don't read, shall I nominate them all as non-notable? Proxy User (talk) 19:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I only nominate articles for deletion that I think don't pass guidelines or polices. WP:BIO says that people being related to notable people is not a reason for inclusion. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 20:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't care if I don't know about the topic, I care if it passes policies or guidelines. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 20:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So can you please stop acting like such a jerk? Also, the discussion is not about me, it is about the article. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 20:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * GOOD GRIEF! How about some WP:CIV? It's an important historical fact and is rightly documented in Wikipedia. But do chill out! Proxy User (talk) 20:28, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why you didn't vote for a merge since you think that the info should stay. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 20:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete His existence isn't proof of his notability. No evidence of notability. Doug Weller (talk) 06:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * But his relationship with Oscar I makes him noteable, and Wikipedia's discussion of Oscar I would be INCOMPLETE without it. As a minimum, MERGE. But I think it should be left as it is for future editors to improve. Proxy User (talk) 15:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep both. This is a very tricky one. WP:BIO doesn't seem to mention royalty. User:Schuym1 is absolutely right saying that notability is not inherited - the children of the famous are not inherently notable. However, this particular guideline seems to be aimed at keeping modern celebrity offspring off the 'pedia - a damn good thing IMHO. However, royalty is a different story altogether. I'd suggest that Royals are always notable - bastardy notwithstanding. I think the fact that these two were known as The Princes of Laponia actually demonstrates this difference - nobody calls Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids The Princes of Cambodia and Vietnam :) Paxse (talk) 18:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 03:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as per the basic, additional and invalid criteria on WP:PEOPLE. Also, relationships do not confer notability. 06:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I just did some quick searching, and the only information I was able to find on this person was Wikipedia mirrors and the like. WP:V problems, I think.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Merge and redirect to Oscar I. I would also agree that royalty is notable, regardless of legitimacy, but that is immaterial when it comes to merging, merging simply allows for Oscar to be fully discussed. - Mgm|(talk) 08:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
