Alexander Murray, 9th Earl of Mansfield

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable nobleman from Scotland. Fails WP:BIO, and in its current state goes against WP:NOTGENEALOGY. This peer inherited his titles in 2015 and therefore never sat in the House of Lords, so WP:NPOL can't be satisfied. Outside of Burke's Peerage, which is only reliable for genealogy per WP:RSP, the remaining sources don't provide secondary, independent, reliable, and/or significant coverage.

Source assessment follows:

 * Delete. A wholly non-notable figure.  Might have got sufficient coverage for notability if we were still in the world before the two World Wars, but not now.  RobinCarmody (talk) 20:47, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - As per similar recent discussions it is well established that an inherited noble title on its own does not make someone notable enough to have an article and there is no sign that the subject has any other achievements which would meet notability criteria.

 * Redirect to Earl of Mansfield. HandsomeFella (talk) 20:58, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Another article which makes no claim to notability for its subject. Frankly, I would almost suggest some of these are close to meeting the criteria for speedy deletion on the basis of no indication of importance. This article, in its entirety, consists of who Murray's children are, who his wife's parents are, and who his parents are. Not even one sentence to suggest why he is a notable individual.
