Non-notable surname. No article titles contain this name, so not suitable for retooling as a disambig. Also, that stuff about holders of the Scottish throne doesn't accord with the article so that part appears to be a hoax. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:47, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I looked at this when it was at PROD recently, particularly at its total lack of consistency with the names and dates in the List of Scottish monarchs article and with the Clan Cameron article. I can see why the dePROD was done, but it is disappointing that it has lingered. All this stuff about "Stewart the I" (or "Stewart the II" in the initial article) and "Andrew the V" (whoever they might have been?) has been replicated into the nl.wiki and into various mirrors. I thought perhaps there might have been some Pretender or whatever, but nothing in the the Clan Cameron article supports that either. In the absence of any solid references, this looks like no more than longstanding hoax content. AllyD (talk) 14:50, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per above and no mention in Black's The Surnames of Scotland. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:30, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even though this seems to be the high point of the editorial achievements of this article's creator, it seems utterly unhelpful and would be best deleted. Thincat (talk) 12:42, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non referenced, probably hoax. I just searched in Google and I found no references to the article. Dede2008 (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
