  • Alexandra de Scheel Is she famous for anything else but being a daughter? -- JeLuF 22:12, Dec 14, 2003 (UTC)
    • I think not. But keep. Nobody seems to have a problem with Chelsea Clinton, but then she's an American! Anjouli 17:28, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Not only is she someone's daughter, but she's a member of the Dutch royal family. If we delete her then surely the convention would be to delete other minor members of royal families around the world? Perhaps the current redirect Princess Alexandra de Scheel, of the Netherlands could be made the main article so that it's clear that she is a member of a royal line and not just someone's daughter?

      • What on earth makes you think she's either a princess or a member of the Dutch Royal family, which consists of HM The Queen, her sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren, HRH Princess Juliana, HRH Prince Bernhard, HRH Princess Margriet, her husband, their sons and their daughters-in-law?

        • This website, among others (just do a google search). Besides which she is getting mentioned in gossip columns, because she's a bit of a looker. All the more reason not to delete her. Francs2000 17:53, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
          • The fact that that page is titled "Genealogy of the Royal Family of the Netherlands" doesn't mean everyone listed is a member of the Dutch Royal Family: they're not. And that page doesn't call her a princess, either. I don't say the Wikipedia article should be deleted, but it should be accurate: she's "famous" for being rich and goodlooking. -- Binky 19:21, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
            • I still think it needs an explanation of her proper title, be it Princess or not. All the gossip columns I've read about her state that she is a Princess. If that's wrong it needs to be explained that it's wrong and why, rather than just left as it is. -- Francs2000 14:03, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
              • I think her proper title would be "Ms.". If gossip columns are consistently and wrongly calling her princess, I suppose it might merit a clarification in her article. Are they? Is she representing herself as a princess? - Binky 21:57, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
                • Yes. And apparently she snogged Justin Timberlake. It's amazing what you find out in Heat magazine... -- Francs2000 22:03, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
                  • I am tempted to create an article List of people who have swapped spit with Justin Timberlake, but I will resist<G>. Seriously, I find the claim she is a Princess most odd. Her mother is a princess, but one inherits such a title from one's father, not one's mother. And her father is a businessman, not a prince. Has anyone asked her from what fount of honour her purported title springs? - Binky 01:14, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)
                    • I have no idea. -- Francs2000 18:41, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Her father is not a Prince, her mother is a Princess, she is not a Princess as a result. She is not notable. Is her father even famous. I advocate the speedy deletion of this article. --Couter-revolutionary 22:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
