Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Gerald Sugden

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page, if it exists; or after the end of this archived section. The result of the debate was ambiguous.

The nomination is a clear "delete" vote. The merge vote is clear but looking at the two articles, there is absolutely nothing to merge (a home address being utterly unencyclopedic). The suggested redirect target is more of a disambiguation page than a real article.

The "keep" vote is clear and offers some suggestions of possible avenues for expansion. However, I note that this article has been in place for a year already and has had no substantive content added in all that time. It has a single inbound link - the disambiguation page Baron St Leonards. If the article were deleted, no content would be lost.

I am going to exercise my judgment and call this one a "delete" but without prejudice if the article is recreated with verifiable and substantive content. Rossami (talk) 7 July 2005 23:52 (UTC)

John Gerald Sugden
Non-notable and unverifiable. It pains me to list a peer for deletion, but we've got nothing on this fellow. The only member of the Sugden family who was notable at all was his great-grandfather. This will never be more than a stub. Mackensen (talk) 20:12, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Baron St Leonards.    &mdash; P Ingerson  (talk)  22:31, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, member of Lords and thus notable. Voting record, speeches etc. are verifiable from Hansard, at the very least. James F. (talk)
