I hereby start a formal discussion about the relevancy of the statement that Teresa Cristina descends from Philip V of Spain and Louis XIV of France. There is an entire section devoted to her ancestry, titled accordingly, that explains her descent. The sentence in the section "Birth" does not explain why it is relevant to mention her great-great-great-great-grandfather. Therefore, I must ask, why not mention Henry IV of France, the first Bourbon king of France who issued the famous Edict of Nantes, or Hugh Capet, the first Capetian king? Both were Teresa Cristina's patrilineal ancestors, much like Philip and Louis.
I am sure the source says she was descended from them but Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be copies of sources. They should be a summary of what's important and shouldn't be repetitive. If there is no reason to mention the subject's great-great-great-great-grandfather, why do so? For the sake of trivia? Surtsicna ( talk) 13:58, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I am afraid I had no other option but to report this case here. Removing a tag and refusing to discuss or provide a reasonable argument is something I have not seen yet and I do not know how to deal with it. Surtsicna ( talk) 19:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
