Mary Forbes, Countess of Granard

Seems like a fairly minor member of the aristocracy. There's a nice painting of her but I don't see that there is much to suggest that notability is met. And WP:NOTGENEALOGY JMWt (talk) 18:32, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - While not able to offer a "keep" recommendation without further review, and noting that much of the sources seem to be predominantly about the subject's (male) spouse and (male) children, I'd personally recommend against outright deletion of the title. As an WP:ATD, I wonder whether (at the very least) a redirect (to George_Forbes,_3rd_Earl_of_Granard) would be better than outright deletion... Guliolopez (talk) 19:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Forbes, 3rd Earl of Granard. An extensive Google Books search mirrors the article: only tertiary sources such as biographical dictionaries and genealogical namechecks. Not enough to beat WP:GNG and WP:NOTGENEALOGY. A redirect should do just fine, as most of the information found in the article is already in the George Forbes article or is WP:MILL genealogical information. Pilaz (talk) 23:40, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
