Minor member of Romanov family only born after the Russian Revolution, he has done nothing which would confer notability. PatGallacher ( talk) 13:12, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep
Delete-I can't figure out what might be the reason this article exists, as it seems that he has not done anything that contributes to notability as an artist or author.Fails GNG and NARTIST. Netherzone ( talk) 23:14, 27 August 2020 (UTC) The keep !votes have persuaded me of the relevance of this article. Netherzone ( talk) 22:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC) - Delete another in a long line of articles of deposed monarchy cruft. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. First of all, being a member of a deposed royal family with enough references in Russian grants
WP:GNG. Second, there are enough references, granting passing it on its own. Third, he is not just one of the princes in exile, but one of the claimants to a headship of House of Romanov -

[2].

- The claim that he claims to be head of the house of Romanov is not sourced in the article.

- Strong Keep I believe he's notable enough to warrant a page compared to some other royals and minor nobility. -- ThatBaileyLad ( talk) 11:38, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

- Again, this is not important by WP:BEFORE. Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 08:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep has had significant enough coverage in both Russian sources and English language sources to warrant an article. Is also one of the claimants to headship of the Russian Imperial House in the decades old dispute. - dwc lr ( talk) 07:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Like it or lump it this man is worthy of his own Wikipedia page. He is significant enough to warrent one. His claim to being head of the Romanov Dynasty. His being the last of his Imperial Highness Tsar Nicholas II's Grand-Nephews warrents this pages existence. It does not matter that the Romanov Dynasty is no longer ruling Russia, that fact should not come into whether or not his page stays. This page supplies useful information to anyone wishing to find out about Prince Andrew Romanoff and as such I see no reason why it should be deleted. The point of Wikipedia is to educate. And education does not occur by deleting well-sourced articles on figures of importance - great or small - like Prince Andrew here. -- AJBRegalia ( talk) 22:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as per above. Sunshine1191 ( talk) 10:05, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
