Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Personal relationships of James I of England
Shorten and merge whatever content has supporting cites and which is not already in the main article. This seems to be a POV fork from the main article. Any referenced statements about his sexual orientation or relationships can go in the main article. Here I would say that it is not necessary to have documented sworn statements from first hand participants or verdicts from a court of law, since the standard of  is inappropriate for ancient historical figures. If respected historians through the ages have promulgated rumors and beliefs, the article can say exactly that, without going the step further and promoting the beliefs and rumors to facts. Fight the battle in the main article to present a balaned and NPOV discussion which mirrors the coverage in reliable historical works, rather than creating a separate article to emphasize one point of view. Modern works which assert without proof that he was (or was not)a homosexual may not qualify as reliable sources, because we must also consider the possible agenda and quality of scholarship of the author. The assertion above "He was a homosexual king." is not in accord with the main article statement that he fathered eight children with his wife, with whom he was "infatuated" for a time at least. The claim of paternity  might be supported or refuted by DNA testing on the royal lines of Europe. Could he have been a bisexual king
