Doesn't meet WP:GNG. DrKay (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 11:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Royalty and nobility and Germany. DrKay (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I can see why the original poorly cited article was put up for deletion, however, I've now expanded it and added reliable sources. Not only is he descended from the Royal House of Denmark, but he's also in the line of the succession to the British throne which clearly makes him notable. Bermicourt (talk) 12:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * There are 5,000 people in line to the British throne by the reckoning that you are using (which [as I've said elsewhere in other discussions] is faulty since in practice the line is restricted to British citizens and it would take a massive disaster of global proportions to kill the first 100 people in the line of succession, meaning no-one would be worrying about who the 101st person in line would be because we'd all be too busy trying to survive). Being descended from someone notable does not make the descendants notable. DrKay (talk) 13:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * But being cited in reliable sources does. Bermicourt (talk) 21:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage in reliable sources. Entries in genealogical directories are insufficient to meet the WP:GNG criteria. DrKay (talk) 21:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Very little of the article is actually about him personally as opposed to his relatives.170.76.231.175 (talk) 16:25, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Has he ever done anything, or just conjugated, and rocked up to weddings and funerals? That's a career of sorts, but it's not notable for anyone so low on the deposed and irrelevent royal ladder. MisterWizzy (talk) 13:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Arbitrarily0   ( talk ) 20:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Final relist. The argument that the coverage is not significant is probably the winning argument currently, relisting to see if it can be disproven or alternatively if there's more support for that viewpoint. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 21:09, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact that the article says the same things 3 times over, once in the introduction, again in the "Life" section, and again in the infobox, tells us that this is genealogy, padded out to make it look like it is more than it really is. Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. Uncle G (talk) 11:49, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep; Prince Wilhelm of Schaumburg-Lippe is a historcial person and of interest for a online bibliotheca as Wikipedia is. --92.76.102.53 (talk) 21:57, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment For what it's worth, an article for this person was previously deleted with the reason "Expired PROD, concern was: No credible claim of notability: article is only a genealogical entry. Notability is not inherited." 2601:249:9301:D570:2C94:DFF9:B48E:5FEB (talk) 23:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is really nothing in this article but genealogy. The article would need sourced, biographical information about what this person has done with his life, besides being born to people of royal descent, marrying, and having children, to warrant keeping it on Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG: no sigcov available. Uhai (talk) 04:10, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, complete WP:NOTINHERITED violation. microbiology Marcus (petri dish·growths) 16:56, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
