This article is nonsense. There's no "Prince Damian of Russia", there's no "Grand Duchess Christina of Russia", and there's no such thing as an "Earl of Todmorden", or a "Viscount Allerton". The Barony of Allerton, held by a family with the surname "Jackson", became extinct in 1991 - Nunh-huh 11:45, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete More royal BS (when will these hoaxers get smart and less obvious) --Doc Glasgow 12:37, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Searched Google and Encarta; found no references. Flcelloguy 23:03, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not only is it nonsense, but it also managed to attract a vandal. --Henrygb 23:12, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Kiddie slander/boast page (hence the vandal). Personally, I like it when they're this obvious. Some of the others (won't say what or how, because I don't want to give any of them ideas) are danged difficult. Geogre 03:09, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete There seem to be many inaccuracies here! (unsigned)
• Keep The persons listed on this page are real, as are their positions, even though the titles are not legally recognised by the countries of issue, they are maintained out of courtesy. TPPD 17:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • please do not remove VfD tags whilst voting is in progress--Doc (t) 16:22, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Russian monarchy is no longer reigning, but the UK still recognizes its own domestic titles such as Earl -- so if Prince Damien really were a British earl, that should be verifiable without too much difficulty. But it sounds like he isn't one. Delete. --Metropolitan90 21:47, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • While some people do indeed retain Russian titles out of courtesy, or claim them, the people mentioned here, to the degree that they exist, aren't them. - Nunh-huh 04:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - sounds very familiar would-be-noble-pretender terminology, especially in proliferation of titles. Would require much more proof - Skysmith 07:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete hoax. Irpen 06:53, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
