James Lascelles
Speedy Delete (CSD A7) -- I've AFD'd this as while i believe no claim to notability is established, other editors may disagree. This person is 43rd in line for the throne, has done nothing notable. Being in line isnt really notable, when everyboody in the UK is in line.  Matthew Fenton  (Talk | Contribs) 18:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * delete or mergeto George, 7th Earl of Harewood not notable in own right. edited Ohconfucius 10:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, misses WP:BIO as demonstrated by absence of gnews/gbooks hits. Not even the first James Lascelles that googling finds. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per other articles nominated by same user -- Roleplayer 02:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I note that Roleplayer has cut and pasted this vaguely ad hominem attack in a number of AfDs without apparent regard to the underlying merit of each nomination., , That is a questionable practice: WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA  Eusebeus 05:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Astrotrain 12:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Why ? This isn't a vote, the closing admin is admonished to ignore votes. This person fails to meet the standards set out at WP:BIO, and escapes WP:CSD A7 only if it is assumed that "43rd in line for the throne" is implying notability. However, the Royal Family's website stops at number 39, so 43rd just won't do as a claim of notability. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK then- how about being in the line of succession to the British throne is notable. The Royal Family website isn't regarded on here as a good source in any case; and we don't have to follow what they do. Astrotrain 21:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into some article about his family provided that reliable references are added. Ardric47 20:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
