[edit] Ahnentafel of Prince Wolfgang of Hesse
list of ancestors of reasonably non-notable prince; Wikipedia is not for genealogical entries
- Delete I'm the nominator, but did not record my "vote"; the only comparable pages are Ancestors_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II and Ancestors_of_Carl_XVI_Gustaf_of_Sweden; if a similar page for a prince of Hesse is allowed, Wikipedia could be overrun by literally thousands of such pages for other non-notable princes.

- Keep per precedent: While 'Wikipedia is not a genealogy database', genealogy of nobility and royalty is considered encyclopedic. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Maltese nobility for conclusion and discussion. --LambiamTalk 05:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Notability for this table comes from it being that of the monarch couple the first Elected King of Finland and his queen. This is worthy encyclopedic issue, since the Finnish monarchy, then soon defunct, was partially based on royal ancestry of its elected king and his family. Perhaps the name of the person/article is badly chosen, as it does not explicitly reflect that this concerns the Finnish monarchy (if I understand correctly, Charles above waged a (hostile) move war to suppress the evidence of Finland from Wolfgang's naming), and therefore the name could rather be changed: something like Ahnentafel of the Finnish royal couple. Also agree with Lambiam above. Finlandais 13:11, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Excuse me? I moved it in accordance of naming conventions. There is no such person as Prince Wolfgang of Finland. You can gladly copy the article to Finnish Wikipedia if you want. Charles
- Keep per Finlandais or merge into his biography. Chicheley 15:45, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep We may not agree with the claims to the Finnish Throne, but the list is notable. -- Petri Krohn 03:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
