I see no indication that the subject of this article is notable according to WP:GNG and WP:BASIC standards. The article looks like a simple genealogical entry, yet that is not what Wikipedia is for; see WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy. Googling the duchess has revealed no significant coverage as required by WP:SIGCOV. I fail to see why Wikipedia should have a standalone article about her.

 * Keep. I found a good reference, as part of an article about other duchesses. It is adequately in depth. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:34, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Eastmain, I encountered the same article. An article passes WP:BASIC and WP:GNG if the topic is significantly covered in reliable sources, however. The Daily Mail has been on the list of deprecated sources since 2017. See WP:DAILYMAIL: "The Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles."

 * Comment The Buccleuch’s are an integral part of the British aristocracy which is still very important in that Country even in the 21st century, see Nobility.  Devoke water   (talk)  22:22, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, but where is the significant coverage of this woman? Surtsicna (talk) 09:19, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'd like to see some more input here. A possible alternative is a redirect to her husband Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch.

 * Delete per WP:DELREASON 8: Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth). I conducted a basic search for WP:RELIABLE sources that provide WP:Significant coverage; I found no such sources. I see no reason for a redirect after having looked at the pages that link to her (no point in having a redirect if the target of the redirect, i.e. her husband, is also linked on the same page), especially considering the unwieldy title.

 * Redirect to Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch: The Dukedom of Buccleuch is an extant peerage and the Montagu Douglas Scott family is a revered one in Scotland, with connections to the British royal family through Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, so deleting seems a bit extreme. In the future, if the Duchess recieves noteworthy coverage then the redirect can be removed and the article can be further developed. TheRedDomitor (talk) 03:20, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
