James Barfield, 12th Baronet of Linlithgow

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Inheriting the title of baronet is not, of itself, notable. The article appears to fail the WP:BIO guidelines. PROD removed so raising for wider discussion. Note baronets are called "Sir", like a knight, but are considered a commoner and a baronetcy is not a peerage. Fæ (talk) 17:57, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete but make text available if anyone requests it to write an article on Linlithgow Baronets. Individual holders of Baronetcies are not automatically notable although the titles themselves are. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be a hoax. Peerage.com is used as a source, but does not mention this family name. There appears to have been an Earldom of Linlithgow (attainted in 1715) and a Marquess which belongs to a different family name than the one claimed in the article.

 * Delete as no substantive claim of notability for the individual, also as an unreferenced BLP. Leigh Rayment's complete baronetage page lists no baronetcy for this family name . Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 20:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment it does not add to the plausibility to see that the first version of this article refers to "James Barfield, 12th Baronet of Kirkliston". Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable at best and hoax at worst. Google Books and Google Scholar return no relevant hits for the search terms Barfield Linlithgow or Barfield Kirkliston.  Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:48, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - being a baronet would not make him notable, and anyway there is no evidence that he is one: none of the cited sources mentions him, and neither "Barfield of Linlithgow" nor "Barfield of Kirkliston" appears in the List of baronets. JohnCD (talk) 20:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
