Comments subpage[edit]

From Talk:Margarita Armstrong-Jones/Comments:

Needs more info. E.g godparents. Wai Hong 14:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to find information about Margarita's godparents online, but I can't find a website that contains the names of her godparents. Maybe someone else could find it (or an expert on Margarita could add it in the Early life section).

French descent?[edit]

Looking at Margarita's ancestors, it looks like she and her brother have French descent, through their mother. I think this because her ancestors Jean Jessie May de Sales la Terrière, Louis Antoine d'Aubigny d'Engelbronner and Dorothy Alleyne d'Aubigny d'Engelbronner all sound like they're from France or their families were from France, judging by their surnames. If Margarita, her mother and brother are all of French descent then shouldn't the category English people of French descent be added in the category bar at the bottom of their pages? What do you think? :) --PrincessAlice13 (talk) 12:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is any of that relevant? --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 04:35, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry! I'm getting quite interested in royal genealogy, but now I come to think of it, I agree, we don't have to add it in the article. Enjoy your evening! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrincessAlice13 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think the notion of her mother being of French descent is based on an assumption. They own property in France and her mother has lived in Monaco for many years. That doesn't mean they are of French descent. Geekyroyalaficionado (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Serena Stanhope[edit]

Considering that the policy is to use the mother's maiden name in the info box, how should it be addressed? At the time of her marriage to David Armstrong-Jones, she was known as Hon. Serena Stanhope; but since her father succeeded to his earldom, she is technically entitled to the style "Lady Serena Stanhope". What does everyone think? For the moment, I've changed it to "Rt. Hon. Serena Stanhope" to "Hon. Serena Stanhope", as she was never entitled to the former style. What does everyone think? ~ Iamthecheese44 (talk) 06:18, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Schools[edit]

I think some people were confused about her middling attendance of Tudor Hall school, failing to understand that many people in the British public school system elect to do GCSE and A Level at two different institutions. I'm working on additional references. Geekyroyalaficionado (talk) 13:35, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect?[edit]

Ok, I will open a discussion. This person is a very minor figure, even her father isn't that important for an Earl. Her grandparents were more important, but it is well-established on Wikipedia that notability is not inherited. PatGallacher (talk) 23:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reassert my reasoning. It was said that she is underage, but she will be 18 years old next month, so that's a very weak reason at this point. The article has existed for "ages" and it was challenged only twice (in 2008 and 2017, being kept). It is a very decent, well sourced article for a minor "member" of the Royal Family, it surely isn't the worst offender. Finally, I am strongly against redirecting it before or during discussion. I will not revert it again, as I am not interested in a potential edit war, but I politely ask @PatGallacher: to revert his last edit and abstain from making the redirect again prior to a decision here.

What has she done or who is she that makes her notable? Are the monarch's siblings' grandchildren automatically notable? Her brother is in line to an earldom which makes him borderline notable, but she appears to be a private citizen with little involvement with the royals. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 02:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And yet her article is much better than his. Are we throwing a decent article to the garbage because she is not the earldom's heir? Anotherwikipedianuser (talk) 12:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Surtsicna and Bookworm857158367: I would like to invite you to join the discussion. Thank you in advance. Anotherwikipedianuser (talk) 12:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quite frankly, I found the content of the article rather absurd. She was named after her grandmother, attended a cousin's wedding, and went to see a fashion show - and that's it. I think having articles about famous people's children doing mundane things hurts the project's reputation. Surtsicna (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When I described her as a "very minor figure" I wasn't referring to her age. PatGallacher (talk) 20:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PatGallacher: That was one of the reasons Ivar the Boneful mentioned to delete the article, and I say that's weak at this point. I understood it. Anotherwikipedianuser (talk) 21:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
