This article is a fake. There was no such peerage created in 1934 or in any other year. It is accordingly not listed in The Complete Peerage, nor by David Beamish (the former Clerk of the Parliaments), nor by Leigh Rayment in his index, nor in any of the other directories of the Peerage.

 * Speedy Delete No sources can be found for the term. Looks a hoax.  Lourdes  01:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: No mention in Times obituary of Hugh MacDowell Pollock (Mr. H. M. Pollock. The Times (London, England), Friday, Apr 16, 1937; pg. 16; Issue 47660. - available online to UK library users and other subscribers).  Suggest a mass reversion of the creating editor's questionable additions. Note Adelaide Pollock, created today.  Pam  D  08:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, I've found a Times death notice for Adelaide and an aviation website too - neither of them cited as sources in the article. So she seems OK. Though her dad's title will need to be removed from the article. Pam  D  08:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * And have done some work on her article including moving her and removing the mention of the unsourced barony. Pam  D  09:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- If the title had been created, that would be recorded in London Gazettee.  Accordingly, this is a case of WP:OR.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax. Hugh Pollock has an entry in Who's Who and the Dictionary of National Biography. Neither mention him being ennobled. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the proposer and others. --Editor FIN (talk) 06:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
