Should this daughter be removed from Maria Elisabeth von Sachsen?

Question

Hi, I was examining my connection to Henry VIII and noticed a weak link here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-444059

The biography claims that Maria Elisabeth Gertrude is NOT a daughter of Maria Elisabeth von Sachsen, and I'm inclined to agree. The only places that link the two are Geni, Find A Grave and FamilySearch and there are no sources cited. Sites that look more reputable do not list this relationship. But, this is not an area I have any experience with, so I wanted to check with y'all before disconnecting them. Thanks!

I feel like in order to prove or disprove this relationship there should be a list of sources mentioning the children of the mom - but considering the fact that even the profile itself is claiming there is no relationship (and the PM never seems to have responded to you publicly, though perhaps they responded in private messages) the relationship should be removed by someone with more EuroAristo knowledge than me.

I feel like this link should be removed. There are no sources anywhere to be found - just unsourced family trees. Assuming that this person did live around Ilbesheim, the attribution of this parentage is highly unlikely. Her Wikipedia page (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Elisabeth_von_Sachsen_(1610%E2%80%931684)) shows a list of children, all born in Schloss Gottorf or Schleswig, all far away from Ilbesheim, like Dresden. Also notice that she married at age 19 and stayed with her husband until his death when she was 49, leaving virtually no room for any "out of wedlock" children to be born.
