The premise of the article, “let’s talk about every possible interaction between two random entities that nobody else has bothered to compile before”, is sort of a textbook example of original research, no? Also note that the bulk of the text deals with interactions since 1952, five years after the Romanian royals were overthrown. It’s basically “the husband of the ex-King’s daughter had dinner with the Queen’s younger son”, i.e. trivia. Biruitorul ^Talk 13:29, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I’m surprised this was accepted at AFC. It appears to be a minutely-sourced compendium of meetings at garden parties and other social functions. I’m not aware of any scholarly sources that focus on the relations between these two royal houses; if there are any I don’t imagine they’ll support this level of Royalty-magazine detail.

Delete both royal families don't have any kind of special relationship that could be worth an article. This article is also unique in Wikipedia, we don't have other articles on relations between royal families. Super Ψ Dro 21:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - I totally agree with nominator and the comments above. The relationship between these two royal houses is not particularly notable and the content of the article is basically trivia, particularly the list of visits and occasions post 1952 - no encyclopaedic article needs to mention multiple meetings between royals which are not presented as having any significance.
