Christopher Nevill, 6th Marquess of Abergavenny

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Member of the British hereditary peerage, with no other claim to notability either in the article or the biography of him elsewhere. No references, no claim to notability, does not meet any of the requirements for keeping Peripitus (Talk) 00:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I consider a UK marquess to be presumably notable. (this is different from Baronets, where the opposite can be presumed) .  I note he did not succeed to his peerage until 2000 (& has not been elected a representative peer), so he    did not sit in the House of Lords, which of course does mean notability as a member of a national legislature.   DGG ( talk ) 01:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed my first thought was that as a member of the peerage, he would easily have enough written about him. In this case I can see no more information about him available that for much of the worlds population. We know he exists but little else - Peripitus (Talk) 01:32, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. It would probably be worthwhile to refer to his entry in Who's Who and see what can be found there. He may be also notable as a landowner: See http://www.eridgepark.co.uk/history.asp In general, there is a very good chance that a member of the hereditary peerage of the United Kingdom is notable for reasons other than being a member of the hereditary peerage. - Eastmain (talk) 01:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Searched quite a bit, though not looked in Who's Who. The only things I can see is that he is the son of X and the nephew of Y....nothing at all about him - `Peripitus (Talk) 01:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. That's no relation of mine, by the way. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep With the decline in importance of the aristocracy, it is difficult to know how important they are. The Marquesses formerly had extensive Welsh estates.  Does any one know if they still do?  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:41, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd love to see a single reference that shows any form of notability at all. I have searched and apart from the peerage site statement that "he exists" I see nothing. Please ? - Peripitus (Talk) 13:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Doesn't come close to meeting the GNG, being a member of the aristocracy does not make one automatically 'notable'. RMHED (talk) 19:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I came here from Category:Unreferenced BLPs and looking for sources but I was equally unable to any. HJMitchell    You rang?   12:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
