Brer Ruthven, Viscount Ruthven of Canberra

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an unsourced biography, and his notability seems to arise from being the son of Grey Ruthven, 2nd Earl of Gowrie, and "nobility" doesn't equate notability, and is not inherited. Russavia Dialogue 03:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete Notability is not inherited. Come back when he does something to satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 17:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep should probably be delete per policy, but heir to nontrivial title, has his own IT consultancy, and several other minor accomplishments that flesh out the article. JJL (talk) 00:27, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Page seems to have been created by the son of the page subject, who added himself as a redlink in the first iteration. The Viscount twice expanded this article under an ip, and later under his own name. Such a conflict of interest might not have any bearing in this specific process. In my mind, this should call everything added here by those editors into question. BusterD (talk) 15:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Another conflict of interest: if the pedia community accepts notability of this office warrants an article, then it might be important to note that the current heir to this office was the page creator. BusterD (talk) 12:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
