I won't disagree that the article definitely needs improvement, but past or present members of the British House of Lords are always notable enough for Wikipedia articles. The holding of a seat in that body satisfies WP:NPOL #1 right on its face, and Wikipedia does not apply secondary standards to separate members of the same legislative body into "notable" vs. "non-notable" camps — all members of a national legislative house, with no exceptions for any reason ever, are always appropriate article topics.

Keep. User:JustBerry, there are categories, athletes who win major competitions, or place at the Olympics, Bishops, Princes Regnant (Henry of Isenburg-Covern), Members of the House of Lords in which individuals get kept automatically. There are quite a number of such categories. You have, in a scan of only the first 50 entries on you recent edits page, nominated individuals in each of the categories I mention for deletion. Please slow down, starting AFDs in such long-standing, automatic-keep categories is not a useful contribution.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
