Various

Surtsicna thanks for your edits. Just to make sure we miss nothing:

I don't feel strongly about the "I" but I have a nagging doubt that this particular one is commonly used outside of internet genealogies. Do scholars often call him "I"? I normally read about him in Dutch and French and I don't think they normally do that. A reason for caution is that there were/are old speculations about earlier counts named Lambert, meaning the genealogists are not consistent on this. Another thing to consider is that there were not many Lamberts in this family.
Concerning the wording "ancestor of all the future counts of Leuven and dukes of Brabant until 1355" does this not imply that Lambert himself was such a Duke?
Any opinions about his mother? I have looked at this in the past and I think I came to the conclusion that the popular proposals about her identity were all modern speculations from antiquarians and genealogists. If I get a chance I will look again, but that is the background to my caution.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:49, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A cursory Google Books search shows that, at the very least, "Lambert I" is not a Wikipedia invention. (It takes some effort to find history books among the genealogy publications, though.) But I cannot tell whether it is common. Surtsicna (talk) 14:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a correct summary. So good enough to keep going with it until someone has a better idea.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 14:47, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stub

@Johnsoniensis: it is not a big concern but I am wondering if this article is still a stub as you've indicated? (It has recently been expanded quite a lot.) I am interested to know if I misunderstand the normal criteria.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:12, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now reassessed.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 15:17, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
