Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article exists solely because he was the father of the wife of the Belgian monarch, which is against WP:INVALIDBIO. The subject has received no significant coverage that would satisfy WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Virtually nothing aside from him having existed and died has been reported by reliable sources. The entire article content is plainly described as "Genealogy", yet Wikipedia is not meant to be a genealogy database; see WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy. Surtsicna (talk) 09:42, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Redirect/merge targets needs to be decided
 * Redirect to either d'Udekem or Queen Mathilde of Belgium. TJMSmith (talk) 12:12, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect or merge as suggested. There's news coverage only because his daughter is queen and his grandchildren are royalty by birth. Bearian (talk) 22:14, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete:  This article is a genealogical record and Wikipedia is WP:NOTGENEALOGY. The article does not meet WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. There are no reliable sources independent of the subject that cover anything about the subject directly and indepth. Being related to a public figure is not notable WP:INVALIDBIO WP:NOTINHERITED. Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE: "As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."   // Timothy ::  talk  01:53, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
