Princess Marie-Therese of Hohenberg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet a single one of the criteria for WP notability under WP:N. Only 'independent' source of information (not connected with her husband) is a gossip interview in a local newspaper. No evidence of any achievements or activities. 'Distinctions' are awards also given to her husband, according to the sources given, which offer no reason why she was 'awarded' them. None of these awards appear notable to the standards of WP:NCNOB and most have no WP articles relating to them. In other words, pure WP:PROMOTION.--Smerus (talk) 10:52, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete As Smerus states, does not meet any notability guidelines. In my opinion this page was created as part of a sockpuppet farm controlled by or closely connected to her husband. CaribbeanTruth (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Selective merge to Anthony Bailey (campaigner), where she and their son are currently only mentioned in the infobox. A brief mention of her Habsburg connections and perhaps of the son would probably be enough (I would be inclined to something like, "His wife, Marie-Therese, is a great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. They have one son, Maximilian." These two facts would not be undue in her husband's article and, while somewhat inadequately sourced at the moment, look as if they could probably be reliably sourced from passing remarks in news stories.)

 * I would agree this could be an appropriate solution, and will carry it out subject to any other comments.--Smerus (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge per PWilkinson. Excellent solution.  Merge leaves bluelink, thus avoids recreating article, plus, should her accomplishments later meet GNG, no problem just expanding the article as needed.  Montanabw (talk)  05:33, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

I have now carried out merge as suggested above. Can someone now close this please?--Smerus (talk) 09:23, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
