the family may be notable , but i see no reason for saying that he is, and there are no sources to support anything except his genealogy DGG ( talk ) 21:06, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand the concern. The Lord Lyon confirmed Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains as ‘Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers in august 2019. This a legal statement which can be found here. His genealogy to hold the title was confirmed after 22 months and two court hearings.

Delete per nom. The article's more about his family than it is about him, and what there is of the latter shows no notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:40, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

fwiw, we do have an article on the family: Clan Carruthers. It looks like it needs considerable editing, but they are notable as a family. DGG ( talk ) 01:47, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, so no need for a "redirect" from say Simon Peter Carruthers to Clan Carruthers as a possible wikireader lookup? Coolabahapple (talk) 03:21, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

why would anyone outside the family think to look him up? We're not a directory. DGG ( talk ) 06:38, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

agree, around 500 page views of the clan page in the past 30 days probably reflects this. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:11, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
