Prince Heinrich I Reuss of Köstritz

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A purely genealogical entry. I have not been able to find any other coverage. I am nominating this for deletion because Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. Surtsicna (talk) 18:23, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete no claim to notability made. ITBF (talk) 00:50, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * If we're going to refer to the present-day Hank Reusses as "Princes" in wikivoice (and apparently we are, when we're reporting #14 calling #13 a crazy old Nazi, and so forth), then I think we need a bit more context for their genealogy and such, notwithstanding the legal abolition of their titles. Otherwise such references are mystifyingly out-of-context, Accordingly, best to merge this content to Imperial County of Reuss (with or without a redirect, no strong opinion in that), or some other such article, in line with the situation on :de.  Absolutely no evidence of independent notability, so certainly shouldn't be a stand-alone article.  109.255.211.6 (talk) 06:59, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Mccapra (talk) 08:43, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: the subject's son, Heinrich XIII, has been in the news lately. But I don't see this as contributing any notability. Maproom (talk) 09:05, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete (changed from 'merge') - the contextualising dynastic information is constructive for the Heinrich XIII and House of Reuss articles, but there's no separate indication of this guy's notability. That said, I might have a source; I'll check. GenevieveDEon (talk) 10:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ETA: I've now looked at his wife's page, and she's just about notable (last member of her dynasty, centenarian, involved in a contretemps of actual royals) so as long has her page clearly states who he was, this page is entirely redundant and there's nothing to merge. There is literally nothing about Heinrich I that isn't better covered in articles about his son, his wife, or his family. GenevieveDEon (talk) 09:18, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge - into his son's bio. GoodDay (talk) 20:06, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - The article may not be great and he may not be notable for much of any reason other than he is a minor "noble" and has an infamous son, but it seems like as applied in practice the threshold of notability on Wikipedia is pretty low. Nogburt (talk) 23:16, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Being a minor noble and having a infamous son confers zero notability and this article on it's own merits fails WP:NBASIC. Per WP:OTHERSTUFF, just because other non-notable articles have thus far not be deleted doesn't change the requirements at WP:BIO. Cakelot1 (talk) 12:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete/Weak Merge - Article has all of two sources: one is a book of nobility genealogy, and the other is an article about his son's involvement in yesterday's coup plot to support the information about his son in the list of Heinrich I's children. Until the second cite was added on 12/7, it was a clear violation of WP:NOTGENEALOGY, as the nominator stated, and it is now split between that and a violation of WP:NINI. I was considering the arguments for merging, but the Heinrich Reuss article is flourishing; I don't see anything relevant to the latter's article that this article could contribute. Heavy Water (talk) 23:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Completely fails the basic notability requirements per WP:NBASIC. No coverage in WP:RSs of Prince Heinrich I Reuss of Köstritz himself in depth. Cakelot1 (talk) 12:51, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Imperial County of Reuss: not GNG for now, but can be redirected to the main House article until someone finds something notable to write about the subject and expands on the article. – robertsky (talk) 02:34, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
