Delete. Or redirect to Baron Farnham. I do not see how WP:GNG is met. Or WP:NOTINHERITED is addressed. The claims to notability, in the article at least, seem to be that the subject was born into a specific family. And his sister-in-law is close to Queen Elizabeth II. That's it. And the refs provided do not even especially support even those claims. To my understanding, the holders of peerages are not exempted from the basic expectation of having done something notable. Or being the subject of coverage. And that merely having specific parents doesn't confer notability. Otherwise, in terms of WP:SIGCOV, I can find no news coverage. And, while the subject seems to be mentioned in 2 books, one is a passing mention (about the subject's niece marrying someone) and the other is a directory entry in Burke's peerage. (If the subject's title is notable, then that's fine, but I don't otherwise understand why we need an article on this particular holder of the title. Who doesn't appear to have any notability or coverage independent of that title....) Guliolopez (talk) 10:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with the 1999 law such titles no longer default pass notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
