Prince Charles is heir to the British throne and holder of the titles Prince of Wales, Duke of Rothesay and Duke of Cornwall. He was married to Diana, Princess of Wales and, subsequently, to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
You might think this man deserves an extensive Wikipedia biography. But it is exceeded in length by the entry on the artist once again known as Prince. The British prince may inherit the throne of one of the world's great democracies, but Prince (the artist) created that masterpiece "1999."
Likewise, the Wikipedia entry on Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination triggered World War I, is far less detailed than the one on the Scottish indie rock band known as Franz Ferdinand. If you judge by numbers, dead Austrian guys are far less interesting than details on whether a band's double A-side single contained a video clip-only single as well.
Here are the word counts for some pairs of Wikipedia entries on royalty and some related terms:
Prince Charles: 8,561
Prince (the musician): 9,153
Archduke Franz Ferdinand: 1,565
Franz Ferdinand (the band): 4,433
