[edit] Baron J Von Habsburg-Lothringen

Baron J Von Habsburg-Lothringen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

non-notable minor aristocrat. Claimed position in line of succession to the Monegasque Throne false according to wp article since accession of Albert II. Fails WP:BIO for 'royalty' - WP:ROYAL - even if that weren't true. Hornplease 12:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I completely forgot: comprehensively fails WP:V. Hornplease 12:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• He is the most intellectual minor royal I know and he does a lot of charity work both in and out of Austria. He is often mentioned in the Court Curricular.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.254.64 (talk • contribs) who also vandalized the nomination and removed the AFD tag from the article.
• Delete per WP:V. Looks pretty dubious, like his being a Baron while his (unnamed) father is still alive, and he doesn't seem to fit anywhere into the family tree: Otto von Habsburg#Family Life and Template:Austrian Imperial Family. -- Fan-1967 13:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - as far as I can tell, the character has been entirely made up. The sources given do not point to anything relevant, and furthermore, my own attempts to find something on the subject have turned up nothing. Whilst there are Habsburg-Lothingrens in line to the British throne as claimed, none are named James, and none were born in 1989 (and they are perhaps excluded due to being Catholic. --New Progressive 16:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The author thought of that one. He claims this kid was baptized both Catholic and C of E. Fan-1967 17:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Only neither of those denomination practice rebaptism, one of many things that is dodgy about this article. JChap2007 22:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. An article about a member of hereditary nobility/royalty needs to mention who the person's parents are in order to be verifiable. If this is a real person, the article can be re-created later if he turns out to qualify under WP:ROYAL. --Metropolitan90 17:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Thanks Hornplease, this was something that I was meaning to nominate for deletion myself a few hours ago but didn't get around to. If it becomes obvious that there is no opposition to the deletion of this article (likely because there are no accurate sources to support it) then I would that request another admin enact the WP:SNOW clause here; there's no reason to perpetuate this nonsense any further.

• Delete as unverified and failing WP:ROYAL. JChap2007 22:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. BTW, the WHOIS for the IP's editing this article comes back as registered to the "SOCIETY OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS". Maybe someone in London can give 'em a ring, ask them if they have Baron Von Habsburg in a tin, or something like that. Tubezone 01:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
