Fails WP:BIO due to a lack of in-depth, secondary, independent, reliable coverage. The subject is a British nobleman who does not qualify for WP:NPOL due to inheriting his current title in 2013. The sources in the article are a passing mention (obituary), a self-published peerage website, and a BEFORE only turned up a Spectator article [1] which mentions him in one paragraph, which is insufficient given that WP:SPECTATOR pieces are treated as opinion pieces. Possible redirect target: Earl of Dudley. Pilaz (talk) 20:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

• Delete - totally non-notable. Just having lots of fancy titles is not enough. --Bduke (talk) 06:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
