Members of the French Royal Families

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Redundant to (i) the articles on the individual kings, (ii) the articles on the different royal families and (iii) French monarchs family tree and French monarchs family tree (simple). Wikipedia is not a directory. Srnec (talk) 00:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a genealogy. This is a rather indiscriminate list of limited, if any, utility outside of genealogy. --Bejnar (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete As it is redundant with those other pages, and as it is very poorly linked to, it is quite likely that as research continues on other pages that it will not make it here.  A structured list is a good idea, but the family tree pages seem to cover that much better and are more comprehensively linked to. 1bandsaw (talk) 15:54, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. As I understand it's generally accepted that WP:NOTGENEALOGY specifically does not apply to members of royal families, who are the only type of people that inherit notability from their relatives. I don't think that anyone can seriously dispute that French royals are notable as a group, so this article passes the criteria of WP:LISTN. It's also a collection of information that is likely to have educational value and there's no compelling reason to delete it. It's not entirely redundant with French monarchs family tree, and is more complete. --Sammy1339 (talk) 23:47, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's why it is genealogy, because it is not just royals but it hares off away from royalty. --Bejnar (talk) 04:22, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It actually doesn't even matter. WP:LISTN only requires that the class be notable; the things listed do not have to be notable individually. Members of French royal families obviously constitute a notable class. --Sammy1339 (talk) 04:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Royals may be notable, but this list is indiscriminate. --Bejnar (talk) 15:38, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
