Major William Bertram Bell

A very nice man by all accounts and a long, rich and varied life, but fails WP:GNG as not notable by WP standards. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:24, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG are not met. The specific claims to notability seem include being a Major in the British Army (which falls significantly below the [granted deprecated] WP:NSOLDIER guidelines), being a British peer (which doesn't confer notability per WP:PEER), being married to someone who owned a big house (which doesn't confer notability and wouldn't be WP:INHERITED anyway), and being involved in some charitable organisations (which also isn't notable). There is no evidence of the level of biographical coverage needed to meet GNG/SIGCOV. Frankly this just stands as yet another on the increasing pile of WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTGENEALOGY articles created by this user's cabal of socks. Guliolopez (talk) 13:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Does not rise to notability for a stand alone article. It reads like an obituary and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 16:27, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS to meet WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 09:53, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
