It's been a while since the 2014 no consensus discussion. This nobleman fails our notability guideline for biographies, and violates WP:GENEALOGY in its current state, since 95% of the article is about the subject's family. The subject inherited the title in 2000, and therefore never sat in the House of Lords. The sources are deprecated or do not provide significant coverage, except one 1997 article which in my opinion helps meet WP:GNG. However, the coverage is only about one event (WP:BLP1E) and it is not WP:SUSTAINED.

My personal source assessment follows.

 * Delete or redirect per Pilaz's assessment. GNG requires multiple sources with SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 22:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm struggling to understand the 2014 (non-admin) closure, given no credible argument in favour of keeping the article was advanced. One editor suggested that "some people are interested in hereditary peerages" which is pretty much a perfect example of an argument to avoid in a deletion discussion. Plenty of people are interested in the thousands of TikTok "stars" out there. It doesn't mean we should fill an encyclopedia with their bios. This article notably consists absolutely entirely of who Curzon's siblings are, his two marriages, his "American divorcée companion" (good bit of British upper-class snobbery there) and that his step-mother, the "Dowager Viscountess", lives in the vicarage. I think that speaks for itself on Curzon's (lack of) notability. AusLondonder (talk) 14:16, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
