There don't seem to be any
reliable sources about this George of Luxembourg, and even if he would be verifiable, he hardly did anything noteworthy. The source given is a master's thesis, which is normally not accepted as a reliable source. Even then, it names a Jiri, no last name, and doesn't mention the inheritance. He just existed, if we are to believe this source, but isn't
notable.

Delete due to a lack of an assertion of notability. I would also note that he's been present as a link from
Prokop of Moravia since the article was created last year by the same author. There's a number of references listed there but all lack in-line citations and I'm unable to read Czech or access Czech books. If anyone is capable of doing a
WP:BEFORE perusal of those it might be fruitful. --

Comment I'll agree that I did source this article inadequately - I used the one reference I had quick access to after translating the unsourced Czech article. Fwiw, the thesis cites Moravský markrabě Jošt (1354-1411) by Václav Štěpán for the claim. Searching 'Jiří Lucemburský' (Czech for George of Luxembourg) yields some more hits, such as in Lucemburkové by Jan Bauer, which states "Poslední Lucemburk po meči byl zřejmě Jiří Lucemburský, nemanželský syn markraběte Prokopa, který zemřel jako benediktinský mnich v klášteře v Monte Cassinu". (My search was picking up text from a cs.wiki mirror, whoops!) As for notability, I assumed being the last living member of the very notable
House of Luxembourg was worthy of inclusion.

Best I can find digitized is
another thesis that states George was a bastard of Prokop who became a monk and died in Augsburg in 1457, citing Lucemburkové: česká koruna uprostřed Evropy by Šmahel and Bobková (2012) for the claim. Unfortunately, I do not have direct access to either Lucemburkové or Moravský markrabě Jošt mentioned above. Anyway, I'm sure the only son of the
Margrave of Moravia was notable to contemporaries, but it seems few sources mentioning him have been digitized.

Comment whoa whoa whoa a master's thesis isn't a reliable source? Then why do we have
Template:Cite thesis? Don't professors usually engage pretty heavily with theses submitted with their names referenced as "advisor," which is kinda like a peer review except it's a boss review? I'm so confused.

WP:NOTINHERITED, there are very few things which are considered inherently notable, and happening to be (perhaps, unverified) the last member of a family which once gave its name to a country (but personally having nothing to do with that) is not sufficient, no.

No such bias on my part, I use such sources all the time. But no good sources have been presented here, English or not. And
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, frustrating as it may be. Other articles may be worse (or not, I haven't checked) and be left alone, and this one get's AfD'ed. That's the luck of the draw, we try to enforce our policies and guidelines somewhat consistently but especially among older articles there is still a lot of work to do.
