Baron of Tirawley

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

Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MADEUP. There is zero indication that the titular subject (the "feudal title" of "Baron of Tirawley" and "Baron of Irrus") had any reality before the title was "claimed" by an individual in late 2023, a bunch of websites were created by that individual in late 2023 early 2024 to assert those claims (tirawley.com, irrus.co.uk), and related articles (to act as WP:COATRACKs for those claims) created on Wikipedia. Relying entirely/only on those non-independent, unreliable, and brand new websites. The article's creator has, in effect, said "what other sources could there be (for a new claim)". The article's creator also stating that "the claim has reality as soon as the claim is made". And, while that may be the case (for all I know) in the world of made-up "feudal titles", that isn't the threshold required on Wikipedia. Per related notability guidelines, WP:ENN and WP:MADEUP. (I'm not going to get into the WP:REFBOMBINGing and WP:VER and WP:TALKO issues. Suffice to say that I think we're beyond WP:ATDs here). Guliolopez (talk) 15:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete This looks far too unrealistic and unreliable. The Banner  talk 15:36, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing on Google Scholar, I'm getting one valid hit on Google Books, which mentions a surname as holder that's not listed in the article. Therefore fails WP:GNG and yes, seems to be WP:MADEUP. Re the WP:REFBOMBING, yes, they'd all need to be examined. One is a blog on an eircom.net (!) site that, ironically, talks about selling titles :-) Another is a Usenet archive! Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 21:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom, and per own searches, which show next to nothing. By no means would all feudal baronies, as opposed to baronies in the peerage, be appropriate topics for Wikipedia articles, and this article is undermined by the way it was created and the nonsensical assertions made by at least one editor. Normal verification and notability rules apply, and are not met here. I will study further, just in case, but for now, this seems a clear case. SeoR (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
