This person does not meet WP:BIO biographical notablilty guidelines, being only of note for being far down the line of succession to a non-existent royal throne and having been married to someone far down the line of succession to another abolished throne. I got an edit conflict, which is why it was not "correctly transcluded to the log". Smeat75 (talk) 03:50, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep reliable sources have been added, documenting his notability as a member of two prominent European families, both of which reigned over imperial great powers into the 20th century. His status as the former consort of the heiress presumptive to the most widely-acknowledged claimant to the tsarship formerly held by the House of Romanov, and as such progenitor of its patriline remains at the center of a controversy surrounding the Line of succession to the former Russian throne. This article needs time and attention, not deletion. FactStraight (talk) 11:21, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per FactStraight. He was the former consort of the heiress presumptive to an abolished title of a major royal house. Just because the title was abolished does not mean that the individuals loose notability. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:42, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as notable person, as several reliable sources were added.--Yopie (talk) 23:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
