[edit] Infanta Sofía of Spain

Infanta Sofía of Spain (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No reason to believe this child (distinct from the parents) will be notable exactly like Suri Cruise, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Tat Meng 07:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination and guidelines. JṃŁЌ¹⁷ 08:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep What a ridiculous nomination. She's third in line to the Spanish throne, not some movie star's kid. I'm pretty sure that Wikipedia's guidelines hold members of major royal families as notable. She's notable from birth because of the position she holds from birth. Nick mallory 08:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep You've got to be kidding me. We already went through this with Princess Ariane of the Netherlands. Royal children, especially those in direct line for a throne, and especially those who are grandchildren of a monarch, and children of a future monarch are definitely notable. I don't see anyone calling for the deletion of Lady Louise Windsor. She hasn't done much in her short life, but because she is the granddaughter of a monarch, she is automatically notable, as is Infanta Sofía. Morhange 08:38, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment I note that Tat Meng was the person who put the AfD tag on Princess Ariane of the Netherlands as well. As that AfD discussion clearly established the notability of babies born to royal families, one wonders at their motivation in proposing this AfD so soon afterwards.

• Keep. Obviously. Flapdragon 08:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Monarchies are governmental institutions; senior members of royal families (and the granddaughter of a king is a senior member) are always notable. I have to wonder if the nom is anti-monarchist or just doesn't realize the constitutional importance of royals in a constitutional monarchy. To equate a princess with Suri Cruise? --Charlene 09:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
