Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Fails WP:BIO. ttonyb (talk) 23:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can see nothing of notability - Google doesn't even appear to have heard of the "Lord of Creymore". (And those blued-by-hand bits are a little bizarre - I think I might change them to Wikilinks so we can see which are genuinely blue and which are red) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:35, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dont Delete I have made the suitable amendments to the article. I hope it now falls in line with the wilkipedia guidelines.

Comment – The article fails to meet the criteria in WP:BIO. Specifically, it fails to provide any Wikipedia defined notability using independent, verifable, reliable sources. ttonyb (talk) 15:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree, sorry - the recent changes still don't satisfy the WP:BIO notability requirements. None of the references properly references anything, and it looks like they're referring to things the subject has written - we need references to independent sources that talk *about* the subject, in some depth. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reference to "Lord Creymore" (not "Lord of Creymore") [1] just says he claimed the title on March 12. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm sorry, but there is simply not enough information out there to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. I found a few hits at Google News Archive, but all of them are from 2006 when he apparently, briefly became the poster boy for nurses who can't find work as nurses. No news about his current occupations or activities (or titles). No publications at all found at Google Scholar. --MelanieN (talk) 00:25, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The talk page at User talk:GCiccone implies that this article may have been speedy-deleted one or more times in the past. --MelanieN (talk) 00:34, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - no indication of notability provided by 3rd party sources. Tzu Zha Men (talk) 00:43, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no indication of notability or nobility. I suspect the "Lord of the Manor of Creymore" is somebody buying an old manor house and assuming the title of Lord of the Manor, which connotes about as much notability as if I called myself the Duchess of Ragged Ass Road because I used to live there. --NellieBly (talk) 02:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; the third-party coverage I've found (basically the same things MelanieN found above) don't seem significant enough to establish notability. 28bytes (talk) 03:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
