Speedy deletion nomination of Edward Lytton-Cobbold
A tag has been placed on Edward Lytton-Cobbold requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I noted the "hangon" tag you applied to the above-captioned article and the material you presented on its associated talk page, as follows: "Edward Lytton-Cobbold is the future heir of Knebworth House as well as being a future Baron Cobbold. He is also has a rich history of historical ancestors including Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton, Cameron Cobbold, 1st Baron Cobbold. I believe he therefore does have notability and the page should not be deleted." I'm afraid that notability, in Wikipedia terms, doesn't have anything to do with who a person's ancestors are or what his future expectations are -- it is about his personal achievements, which in this case appear to be zero. (It is not clear from the context, but I suspect this may be an article about a child.) I don't think that hereditary titles automatically confer sufficient notability to warrant a Wikipedia article either, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball -- we have no way of knowing if Mr. Lytton-Cobbold will ever receive the title. I have therefore decided to agree with the individual who tagged the article for speedy deletion, in my view correctly. Best of luck with your future contributions.
