Recreated after deletion, this nobleman's article still fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:NOTGENEALOGY. The new sources added are not independent (COSCA) or provide significant coverage of the subject (Burke's Peerage and the 3 obituaries of his brother). See also the previous deletion discussion for an assessment of the existing sources. Pilaz (talk) 13:13, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete - minor aristocrat who wasn't notable in 2022 and is still not notable in 2023. Largely unmentioned except in directories of the nobility. JMWt (talk) 08:27, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect- Do not think the subject has notability other than the title and so an individual article is not needed, but could conceivably be searched for so a redirect to Marquess of Ailsa would seem a good way forward. Dunarc (talk) 21:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Marquess of Ailsa per Dunarc. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 07:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
