Talk:Prince Alexander John of Wales

Questions

This article mentions he was christened before his premature death. Any info on his godparents? Was it more like a hurried baptism, because the family sensed he was probably going to die? At any rate, did he have godparents for this ceremony? Morhange 01:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The website that is already referenced in the article says he was baptized in the presence of both his parents, his mother's lady-in-waiting, and a doctor who attended the birth. Let me look in Queen Alexandra's biography to see if there is any other information.--Susan/sef127 00:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

There was no other information in Queen Alexandra's biography except for the name of the lady-in-waiting who was with her at the time of the birth (Mrs. Stonor). I would assume that because the birth was unexpected and the baby was ill, the baptism was hurried and that the doctor and lady-in-waiting were the godparents.--Susan/sef127 18:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it relevated for this Wikikpedia ? The boy died at the age of 24 hours ! --AndreaMimi (talk) 10:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge into Edward VII

This article is about a 1-day old child, for goodness sake. GoodDay (talk) 08:19, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Support. This is a no-brainer. Hans Adler 23:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Retarget. I don't want the information that's in this article moved to Edward VII, because it would be undue weight to have this amount of detail on Alexander John in Edward's article. However, I can see the value of moving it into the "Notes" cell at Grandchildren of Victoria and Albert#Children of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. DrKay (talk) 09:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Good point. Most 'articles' on children who died in infancy are pure template cruft, but this one actually has some information worth preserving. If it's shortened just a little bit it will fit well into the "Notes" column of his table row. Hans Adler 11:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

That's acceptable. GoodDay (talk) 17:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
