Charles Townshend, 8th Marquess Townshend
AfDs for this article:


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

This marquess fails WP:BASIC, having earned no multiple, secondary, reliable, in-depth coverage. He never got to sit in the House of Lords and therefore cannot qualify for WP:NPOL. While there is some passing coverage of the marquess in a handful of sources, he is never the subject of the article, and the amount of words dedicated to him in reliable sources never climb above 10% of the article's total. Arguably, an article about his mansion could be written, but at present the notability of the marquess is in my view not established. Possible redirect target: Marquess Townshend.

My (long) source assessment follows.
