Revision as of 18:57, 9 June 2009
Benedict Alexander Stanley Baldwin, Viscount Corvedale
- Benedict Alexander Stanley Baldwin, Viscount Corvedale (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Being the son of someone does not make you notable. After the rules for the House of Lords were changed, this person is no longer guaranteed a seat, and should only be added when and if he does. Passportguy (talk) 13:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
As a viscount we should include him.Max Mux (talk) 13:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. Non-notable. He is a viscount by courtesy, not in his own right. Please stop creating these articles on non-notable peers or courtesy peers. Tryde (talk) 13:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Courtesy or not I think he belongs here. Great Britain is still a monarchy.Max Mux (talk) 13:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Monarchy or not, a person is not notable simply because they are a member of a certain family. Otherwise we'd have thousands and thousands of articles on the very extenstive families of the Arab Gulf states. Passportguy (talk) 13:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Of course they can be added. Royalty and peers of monarchys are notable.Max Mux (talk) 14:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- No they aren't. The cousin of a cousin of a cousin of the emir is not notable. Any person must pass WP:BIO. Passportguy (talk) 14:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Delete as not notable. At this point, just being born appears to be his claim to notability. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Wikipedia clearly rejects inherited notability. The subject of the article must be notable. Everyone who has hereditary title is not notable. You could make a better case that anyone who is knighted by the Queen has a better claim to notability with that honorary title than someone with an inherited one. Drawn Some (talk) 15:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect per nominator.
- Speedy delete as someone who is very obviously non-notable (yes, their grandfather might have been—I almost care). ╟─TreasuryTag►Africa, Asia and the UN─╢ 17:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
