Miles de Courcy, 1st Baron Kingsale

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced compilation of guesswork; no reason to suppose that this Miles de Courcy ever existed; the claim that he was Baron of Kingsale is unsupportable (sources disagree over whether the Barony was created a century later or two centuries later); and the assertion that the Barony descended in the male line depends on the claim that Patrick de Courcy was Miles's son, whereas the Complete Peerage says that Patrick's parentage is unknown. Taking all those out leaves nothing. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment His father is notable and documentable, having an entry in the DNB. It mentions Patrick de Courcy as follows: "it is possible, as peerage writers claim, that Patrick de Courcy, lord of Kinsale in the early thirteenth century, was his illegitimate son."   This is not enough for an article. DGG' (talk) 23:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
