Utterly WP:NN person whose existence is marginally documented in some WP:PRIMARY sources. This guy's claim to fame is having stood in for his notable uncle. WP:NOTINHERITED applies. Most mentions of him in any source presented have been ancillary - as in related to his mother, uncle or physician. Toddst1 (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps for someone alive now his biography is a bit thin but as a man who lived in the mid C18th his credentials are pretty good. He is a good example of a British ex-patriot in Provence and sufferer from bad mental health (once again a fashionable topic), which is documented. He didn't just stand in for his uncle at Reading. He was the candidate.Rodolph (talk)

In general, a failed candidate, fails WP:POLITICIAN. I can't see anything that would make this person pass any semblance of WP:GNG or any other measure of WP:NOTABILITY. Being an example of a type of person certainly doesn't. Toddst1 (talk) 14:35, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per POLITICIAN, NOTINHERITED, GNG, etc. A nobody's a nobody, regardless of century, and they don't get much nobodier than this failed political candidate who didn't accomplish anything of note in any other field of endeavour either. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:47, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
