Minor positions in the British royal household. Unsourced and of no apparent notability. If sourceable, possiby merge to Royal Households of the United Kingdom.  Sandstein  16:19, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. There is a couple of pages in Sketches of her majesty's household (1848) but that's about all I could find besides passing mentions. Even that does not discuss the actual role very much; it's more about pay and promotion. Royal Households of the United Kingdom doesn't strike me as a practical merge target, that article is organised by specific royal households, and has little to say on the roles other than the very senior ones.  A "list of minor characters" type article is what is needed for a merge target. SpinningSpark 18:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think a broader article such as Positions in the British Royal Household or even just British Royal Household would be helpful - at least better than the current plethora of unsourced ministubs. WP:V mandates deletion if contested content cannot be sourced - and nobody here has been able to source this content.  Sandstein   21:11, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Most positions in the Royal Household are notable. See Category:Positions within the British Royal Household. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You might want to provide some evidence for this position if you want your opinion to count per WP:OTHERSTUFF. SpinningSpark 17:03, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * My point is, why single out this particular post when there are articles on all of them? That makes no sense and is not helpful. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:11, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - There's nothing here to retain as there are no sources. We don't keep original research on subjects, even if there's other similar stuff that's been notable in the past. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 22:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Lack of references does not equal original research. A common misconception. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:01, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment develop the article and then I will circle back  Lubbad85   (☎</b>) 03:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment There are several articles relating to similar positions (Page of the Backstairs and Page of Honour for example) and while this article is clearly not sourced well, I think it needs some work before being nominated for deletion. I will spend some time looking for primary sources on this subject, as it seems potentially noteworthy. Skirts89 13:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Both articles are unsourced stubs and are comprised entirely of OR. There is no demonstration that either topic passes WP:GNG as there is no sustained WP:SIGCOV of either group of employees or what they do. That there might be more such articles elsewhere is not an argument against deletion, but a weak cop out to save OR stubs some evidently like. And no, I didn't count that useless Independent citation as a source, as it tells us nothing of value. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:09, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
