[edit] Henry, the short lived

No evidence that this name was ever used. The baby is mentioned in the articles about his parents. That should be sufficient. DCEdwards1966 07:51, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

• Birth and (corrected) death date have been added to Henry VIII of England and Henry, Prince of Wales (disambiguation) now points there. That should be enough for people to learn about him. iMeowbot~Mw 10:54, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• The name, which ought to be Henry the Short Lived, or perhaps more appropriately Henry, Prince of Wales (1511) or something. The title Prince of Wales has to be created, and is not automatic and the Prince of Wales page does not record it being created in this case (but neither does it for Henry's other son Edward VI), so this needs expert attention really.

  • It's a very strange one. Henry staged a huge bash for this kid's arrival, and there was major hype surrounding the birth. That should be a fun one to track down, whether or not the formalities of creating him were completed. References disagree. iMeowbot~Mw 18:16, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Prince of Wales makes pretty clear which ones were and weren't; perhaps Prince Henry of England might be a more appropriate title. It has possibility of expansion along those lines mentioned, I suppose. Dunc|☺ 18:59, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • This is why the bureaucratic details (or lack thereof) would need to be confirmed. If the creation was never formally undertaken, his coolest title would be Duke of Cornwall. Isn't this title stuff fun? iMeowbot~Mw 01:02, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• So Keep it. Wyss 22:05, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Other articles already have the scant info, and the child has never been referred to as "Henry the Short-Lived", right? Delete it, then. Wile E. Heresiarch 08:52, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• AFAIK this child was never referred to in this manner historically, at least not officially, and didn't live long enough to receive the title Henry, Prince of Wales. Therefore delete -- Francs2000 | Talk| (Graham) 19:45, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. How is he notable? Many royal princes died young and few are worthy of more than a line or two in their parents' entries. Gdr 19:42, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)
