The result of the debate was KEEP
Katherine Bowes-Lyon[edit]
Katherine Bowes-Lyon was niece to Queen Elizabeth and was unfortunately born with mental retardation. Is this sufficient to establish enough notability for inclusion on Wikipedia? A google search for this distant royal relative returns 43 hits. [1] GRider\talk 23:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. What the nominator fails to mention is that this woman was wrongly listed as deceased for 26 years, having been reported as such to Burke's Peerage by the Royal Family. This is widely supposed to have been an attempt to cover up the (apparently somewhat embarrassing) existence of a royal with a disability. That's all in the article, perhaps not quite as explicit as it might be, but there all the same, and also in the link provided. The nominator might want to reconsider this listing and concentrate instead on one of the many, many, many other vfds he/she currently has listed because there's nothing deletable about this one.

- Keep. Refers to the facts stated in Mattley's comments, except for the last paragraph about GRider which I disagree with. JuntungWu 02:46, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
