The result was redirect to Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, 2nd Baronet. A late suggestion, but probably uncontroversial. Obviously, "He existed. We are all notable" cannot be taken seriously, see WP:N.  Sandstein  14:53, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Lieutenants aren't notable. Baronets aren't notable. Fourth sons of baronets, who've only risen to Lieutenant, definitely aren't notable. Cabayi (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

This chap lived and died. He existed. We are all notable. The entry should stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.252.148 (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, fails GNG and WP:Memorial applies. Kierzek (talk) 16:04, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete We have to draw the line somewhere, and this is nowhere near the line. Fails WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 19:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see reliable in depth coverage or even a significant amount of passing coverage. Smmurphy(Talk) 23:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment His photograph was held in Queen Victoria's collection - see https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/2500958/lieutenant-frederick-henry-eardley-wilmot-1846-73-royal-artillery While on its own its not enough evidence of notability, it is unusual.

 * Delete (regrettably) or, perhaps better, Merge to a future article on the Eardley-Wilmot family. A Google book search reveals little about the man and so I doubt that there are sufficient reliable sources for a stand-alone article. Greenshed (talk) 02:05, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to his father. That article contains a list of his children.  A sentence on his military service and death would fit well there.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
