There was never any such position as a "royal mistress of Bohemia", so it's not surprising that the table is half-empty, half-inaccurate. Concubines are not mistresses, and the article would hardly meet notability criteria more than the List of Bohemian queens' favourite dishes. Not everything "royal" deserves an article or a list. One can try to put up with articles such as List of consorts of Nevers, but there has to be a limit somewhere. I repeat, this was not an office. It had no "term started date" and no "term ended date". Being a mistress meant many different things to many different couples. Some were one-night adventures that resulted in a child, some were lifetime partners and influential confidantes. Some were not sexual, and some were purely sexual. It makes no sense to put all of these women into the same basket and treat them as office-holders. Surtsicna (talk) 13:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, because the article is only random bunch of facts and errors. For example Agnes of Kuenring and Palcerik was same person, Božena (Křesinová) was second wife, not mistress, Katharina Schratt was only platonic friend, Philip Lang was hardly mistress, because he was man. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information! --Yopie (talk) 15:51, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Jesus, what a mess! Half of the "facts" aren't verifiable and seem like guesswork but they are the basis on which this has been created. Much of this seems based on rumour or conjecture. Though the subjects are all long dead, we still don't publish gossip. Stlwart111 01:56, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Is there any way to include List of royal mistresses of Hungary in this discussion? Half the table is identical to this one, and the other half is equally bad. Surtsicna (talk) 14:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • And for the reference of the closing admin, my "delete" opinion applies equally to that list also; delete both. Stlwart111 01:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Both – fails core policies including WP:V. C679 07:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
