So what would you do with this article?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Stuart,_Duke_of_Kintyre
That is one of several articles where the child seems to be notable
because they were born into nobility or royalty or some other
hereditary position. Even if they die in childhood, they still seem to
get separate articles.
He was a duke, that's not a single event. It is very unusual for
someone that died an infancy to be notable, but this is such a case -
there are always exceptions.

How would you approach those articles? The same as for any other murder?
Murder is a difficult one because in many cases it just boils down to
a matter of what you call the article. Should it be [[Joe Bloggs]] or
[[Murder of Joe Bloggs]]? I would say the latter is preferable because
most of the article will be about the murder and what happened
afterwards, rather than about the person, but it makes little
difference. In the case of multiple murders, there should certainly be
one article discussing them all.
Being a saint is like being a duke, it's notable and is not a single event.
And how would you cover the story given in this
article?

That article seems pretty good to me. This is an example of a child
whose life was actually notable, not just one event in his life (one
aspect of his life, sure, but that's the case with most notable
people).
