William de la Pole (Jr) merger[edit]

Some one has nominated the above for merger here, but the whole thrust of that article is to make a genealogical link between a Hull merchant and the Princes of Powys Wenwynwyn, for which no evidence exists. The content of that page fails WP:V, being the result of an overzealous genealogist making a link where no exists. The matter was discussed in detail at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William de la Pole the Elder resulting in deletion. I have accordingly nominated the above article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William de la Pole (Jr). I am placing a record of this here, lest this nonsense comes up again.

Tomb identification[edit]

The tomb in Holy Trinity (now Hull Minster), illustrated in the article, is now believed to be of Robert de Selby and his wife Emma de Ravenser. Leland identified it as them at the time when the chantries were still functioning. ˜˜˜˜ Silverwhistle (talk) 18:15, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
