Bruce Shand
"Major Bruce Shand is the father of Camilla Parker Bowles." Well, somebody had to be. So? Not notable. -- Hoary 08:26, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
 * Merge into Camilla Parker Bowles unless he's done something to be notable in his own right in which case that needs to be added to the article. Mgm|(talk) 09:16, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: nothing to merge, the Camilla Parker Bowles article already says more than this does. Seems to be a not specially notable wine merchant. Kappa 09:56, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll change my vote to redirect. Mgm|(talk) 12:39, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Camilla Parker Bowles. Will probably become more notable after the wedding. Megan1967 10:10, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Google search shows he has written a book Previous Engagements. Published in 1990. 175pp. ISBN 0859551695 (Amazon sales rank 873,028, so I don't feel that qualifies) Shand joined the 12th Lancers in 1937; served in France and North Africa; wounded, taken prisoner; awarded M.C. 1940 and Bar 1942. His full name is Bruce Middleton Hope Shand. Apparently his daughter is marrying someone, but that's pretty much irrelevant to his notability. Average Earthman 13:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete until the scandals hit. Wyss 20:54, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Well, somebody had to be" is a great argument. :-) JoaoRicardo 03:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Camilla Parker Bowles. JamesBurns 08:46, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
