Media section needed
This guy hardly seems to be off the radio and even TV, he needs an "appearances" section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.140.206 (talk) 14:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This "death metal baron" is still poping up, in print, on screen and on the radio and podcasts, surely this should be mentioned? You need a picture too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.190.57.195 (talk) 09:11, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Which Randal?
Why does Randal Plunkett go to some obscure 19th century figure instead of either of the Dunsany Lords of that name? The 19th was Lord Dunsany for 42 years, a decorated veteran and Head of a Knightly Order in Ireland, while this guy is already Lord Dunsany for 10 years, and is all over the news for the last couple of years with this huge re-wilding gig. The other one I've never heard of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.176.29.57 (talk) 15:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe this has been dealt with since. SeoR (talk) 17:28, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Heir - sourcing
After legacy content source Cracroft's Peerage was removed (and IMDB), I must look into sourcing the brother-as-heir, maybe Burke's (p. 1240 in one library-held edition may help). This is a point readers would expect to see. SeoR (talk) 17:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Other genealogical connections
"He is descended from the Earls of Jersey, and the family of explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton."

On the one hand, that is pretty vague, and "...descended from...the family of...." doesn't make clear that the connection to Richard Burton is that of cousin, not direct descendant, unless you already know that Sir Richard Francis Burton didn't have any children.

On the other hand, is there really any point in being more explicit? As in: He is a two-greats-grandson of Victor Child Villiers, 7th Earl of Jersey. He is a four-greats-grandson of Admiral James Ryder Burton. He is a 2nd cousin 5 times removed of adventurer Sir Richard Francis Burton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D. C.
