This page was earlier a collection of more than one Pr Alex of Y's, and before that, here was only Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia the youngest. The following vfd is from era when the youngest prince was under grave risk to be deleted from Wikipedia:
from VfD: Probable hoax article created by User:212.95.227.168 who has created a number of other highly suspect articles. Rossami 21:56, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Keep rewritten article. Thanks to Nunh-huh. Rossami
BJAODN and delete. It's nonsense, but it's still rather funny nonsense.-- [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 22:05, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)- Keep, not sure what you mean, but a quick search on Google gives plenty of decent results for +Yugoslavia +"Prince Alexander" a quick look on some of them backs up the Churchill claim. The proper suffix is "Serbia and Yugoslavia" though. He is, of course, not in power, but I fail to see why that stops us. -Vina 22:47, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- In all fairness to Rossami, he's alluding to an earlier, joke version of the article: it was revised before you read it. As for suffix: it's far from clear that descendants of deposed royalty change their titles when the country's name changes: for example, the descendants of the Kings of Hannover call themselves "Prince of Great Britain and Ireland" rather than "Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". - Nunh-huh 23:01, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I thought I had seen this before, and I did. See Crown Prince Alexander II of Serbia and Yugoslavia, redirect? -Vina 00:32, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, everything which was written in the original article was true - He did go to King's, his brother was in the same house as him (Linacre), he does skate, did break his arm in the multistorey (whitefriars, it's now been demolished), and went to USF, I think. --MAdaXe 10:11, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- In fact, here's the man himself [1] --MAdaXe 10:11, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Prince Alexander enjoys surfing, snowboarding, skate boarding and scuba diving. (From page above)--MAdaXe 10:11, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- I think that this is non-notable for everyone except really die-hard royalty aficionados. Delete. --Joy [shallot] 11:15, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- And while we're at it, let's delete all of the other articles about minor royalty, like Canute the Great and Clotaire I! In fact, let's get rid of everyone in the lists in Category:Lists of office-holders except for the names most people recognize. Sarcasm aside, minor doesn't mean non-notable. This is encyclopedic. Keep. - Plutor 12:14, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Uhh, this is barely comparable. Did you actually read both of those pages, and the one we're talking about? --Joy [shallot]
- Well, it's linked to by several other articles such as Line of Succession to the British Throne, so I guess we may as well delete that to, it's not very interesting. Keep --MAdaXe 16:41, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- He's number 91 on the said list. After around number 35, the vast majority of people on the said list don't have an article — and nobody cares. --Joy [shallot]

- Just to note, I've added another Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia to this page. This one was born in 1924 and is the son of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, the former regent. john k 22:29, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
