• Delete - two sentences do not a Wikipedia article make. Also, while the subject's titles seem notable, there is really no indication as to how notable she is. In addition, there's WP:V...B.Wind 01:14, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete, the organization itself seems to barely be a blip, let alone a member of that org with a fancy title. Peyna 19:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• From the talk page, posted by User:216.183.37.60 on 19:45, 1 October 2004:

Given that Laos, Burma and Viet Nam are all republics, and totalitarian ones at that, I find it impossible to believe that a group made up of people pretending to royal status in the countries in question would be able to have any dialogue whatsoever with the Communist governments of Laos, Burma and Viet Nam. Even in Europe, such as in Austria, Greece and Italy, no republic would even deal with an actual royal figure until they disavowed their favored status and accepted the legality and legitimacy of the ruling government.

Further, in the article posted by the same clique which posted this on the "Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League" it says that they hold that the last legitimate ruler of Viet Nam was the French puppet Emperor Bao Dai. Therefore, how could they hope to have a dialogue with a government they refuse to even accept as a legitimate power? Additionally, the website for the British House of Commons, which lists all committees of every kind, has no mention of this group, and it seems highly unlikely that they ever would considering that the United Kingdom and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam fully recognize each other, have exchanged ambassadors and are on friendly relations.

If the British government was actually sponsoring a group composed of royal pretenders claiming status from the countries in question, and working in opposition to the ruling government, I assure you the Vietnamese government would protest loudly and probably break off all diplomatic relations with the British. -Nguyen Van Tuan
