 * Delete non-notable pretender to a throne that never existed (it was an elected position) 132.205.99.122 (talk) 19:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Skoropadskie and Pavlo Skoropadskyi This person is clearly a member of the Ukraine nobility and the daughter of someone who became leader of Ukraine and intended to make the job hereditary. There's apparently some difference of opinion as to whether she is truly a pretender to the "throne"; although that's the story told in standard articles about her father (like this one), according to this article about her nephew, who reportedly is interested in the hetman position, she "refused to have anything to do with the succession issue, announcing that she wanted to stay out of politics." She's written at least one book (a biography of her father) and she's played a role in establishing at least one museum in post-Soviet Ukraine, according to http://who-is-who.com.ua/bookmaket/ukrtour2007/33/198.html, and she cut the ribbon on another one (according to http://who-is-who.com.ua/bookmaket/ukrtour2007/33/195.html ). She isn't sufficiently notable for her own article, but she's part of a story that does need to be here. --Orlady (talk) 23:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment would this not better be tagged for verification or notability than for deletion? --Paularblaster (talk) 00:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment the article is one line long. Her entry on the family page is almost as long as this article. 132.205.99.122 (talk) 20:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article text may be just one line long, but the infobox contains a photo and several items of information that aren't in the text. This is the material that could be merged into another article. --Orlady (talk) 22:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Pavlo Skoropadskyi, per Orlady's arguments. PKT 02:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
