Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran
If there's going to be an article on this then it should be an article, not a list with a single (redlink) name and a questionmark for the years served. If it can be improved to even the most minimal standards, fine, if not it should be deleted. -R. fiend 23:20, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, there's room for improvement here. Zoe 23:22, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator; there's room for improvement but the article shouldn't even be started until someone has the time or knowledge to make it encyclopedic Soltak 23:44, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The fact that idea isn't generally applied is one of the key reasons why Wikipedia is so successful Osomec 01:20, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * ...and why it has so much shit. -R. fiend 01:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Such as obscene comments by you perhaps? Osomec 00:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, vfd is not cleanup. Kappa 00:11, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In the sense that cleanup is useless and VfD isn't, you are completely correct. -R. fiend 00:14, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It's had no time to expand. I have categorised it to improve its chances. Renominate if it hasn't progressed in 50 years time. Meanwhile, please give it time. Wikipedia doesn't have a deadline. Osomec 01:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or even speedy delete because there is no assertion of notability here.  Who the hell is Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran?  For all I know this is garbage from someone's private D&D campaign.  Delete it, burn it, crush it, tear it in to little pieces, and then throw the pieces on the ground and stomp on the pieces.  This is a non-article. Nandesuka 12:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You know, that's a really good question. It only gets 9 Google hits . What is Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran? Does anyone know? Soltak 17:23, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 4 of which are from www.number-10.gov.uk! 80.255 15:37, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Evidently it's the Lord-Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran, which tells you about as much as the article does. I assume it's a legit thing, although I always thought that Lord Lieutenants only were assigned to places with a degree of independence from the UK, but I guess not. As I said, a real article on the subject would be fine, but a redlink with a question mark after it is not an article. The fact that you read it and still have no idea what it isevidence of that. -R. fiend 17:34, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Erm, no. Lord-Lieutenants are appointed for ceremonial counties in the UK. They have nothing to do with places outside the UK. Osomec 00:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I reviewed the Lord-Lieutenant article and I think I have a decent idea of the situation. This article is pretty much the same as County Commissioners of Non-notable County, Arkansas or Mayors of Podunk, Iowa. Now that I'm entirely positive of what Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran is, I feel even better voting to delete it. Soltak 00:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Why are you voting to delete when you freely admit to having no idea what you're talking about? All you needed to do was click on the Lord-Lieutenant link to find out what it meant. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 14:34, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nearly entirely lacking in content. If the creator is too lazy to put three sentences together to form something resembling a nano-stub, others might as well start from scratch. --Scimitar parley 14:34, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as currently contains no worthwhile content --TimPope 17:54, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Ayrshire is a Scottish county! Secretlondon 05:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * We're all aware of what Ayrshire is and no one here is interested in deleting that article. Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire and Arran, however, is a nearly contentless article and the topic of this discussion. Soltak 17:00, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this valid article on a notable official position. 80.255 15:36, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
