The result was speedy keep. I apologize - my interpretation of NPOL was a tiny bit off - sources have been added to the article therefore I am withdrawing this. Thanks for your notes. Cheers (non-admin closure) -- puddleglum  2.0  05:19, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't see this person as being at all notable - an MP from the 18th century that, according to this article, did nothing coverage-worthy. No citations either; the whole article is who his ancestors were. I don't see this passing GNG or NPOLITICIAN. -- puddleglum  2.0  21:45, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Keep - MPs are notable - WP:NPOL.Ingratis (talk) 23:43, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi, hope you're staying well. Are all MP's inherently notable? The way I understood NPOL was that GNG must also be met - therefore, an MP who has received absolutely zero significant coverage (like this one), would be deletion-worthy. Without any citations, we don't know if any of the information contained in this article is true. I'm sorry, this just may be a misunderstanding on my part, but I'm curious nonetheless. Thanks for your time and !vote. All the best, -- puddleglum  2.0  00:00, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hope you're well too. My understanding, as far as it goes, is that being an MP is enough in itself, which is how I take NPOL: "the following are presumed to be notable: politicians... who have held international or national ... office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." His entry from the authoritative "History of Parliament" has now been added, which confirms that he was an MP (and also that his was not an interesting career) and there will be other sources for someone of that status. All best to you! Ingratis (talk) 00:12, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
