[edit] Redirection to Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant

Being bold in a redirection may be fine, but when somebody reverts, it's appropriate to discuss the matter (cf. Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. User:Charles thinks that this individual is not notable, while User:Morhange thinks that he is. The fact that there are articles on him in three other language versions of Wikipedia suggests that other people also think he is notable (but they may all be wrong).

I contend that the young prince is a notable element in his father's life and article but not as a standalone article at this time. The prince is little more than two years old and has hasn't done much other than be born. If the prince was, God forbid, the subject of something like a kidnapping plot or known for more than just having a rather regal name then I could understand the need for an article. However, everything that may make the prince even interesting is best covered in article on those notable topics, such as his father, mother, paternal grandparents and place in the Belgian royal succession. That he is a common element in any of those articles does not indicate a need for this article, which is simply a summary of information best covered elsewhere for now.
