Reynold Heatherington, Lord Aylesbury

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Suspected to be a non-notable individual. Google has only Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirrors matching search criteria, the article itself is also an orphan. The Marquess of Ailesbury page (rightful holder of the title Lord Aylesbury) does not have him listed, neither does List of Speakers of the British House of Commons.

 * Delete per nom and probable hoax. Article asserts he was speaker of the house of commons, yet complete list of speakers of the 1900's does not include him. Nothing on Google but mirrors. Nothing in the history of the title of Lord Aylesbury and nothing on Aylesbury House or Hollywell Hall supposed places of birth and death. Pedro | Chat  14:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete He was apparently never the Speaker of the House of Commons, but if one clicks on the "Speaker" link in the infobox, it leads to a disambiguation page, where it says he could be merely someone who speaks a language, hardly sufficient to justify an article. The MI5 links would doubtless be hard to verify (spies/counterspies will be secretive). The Marquess of Ailesbury page says he was never that (differently spelled) Lord, and the implication is that there was not a title spelled "Aylesbury." That leaves the rank of Major in the military, which would not be sufficient to justify an article absent additional evidence of notability. Unless the creator of the article or others can find some sources to verify any of the claims by the end of the AFD debate period, the article should be deleted as failing WP:N WP:V and WP:BIO.

 * Note - FreeBMD, although only 99% complete for the 1880s does not have a Reynold Heatherington listed, even with "Phonetic search surnames" checked. -- Roleplayer 17:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Very little notability asserted (being major in the unit) and it certainly not enough to keep this article Corpx 03:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Very strongly suspect a hoax, as the Complete Peerage doesn't list a title of Lord Aylesbury, of which the subject of this article is supposedly the ninth. There is a Marquis of Ailesbury, but no lord, and the family name of the marquis is not the same. Ealdgyth | Talk 14:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
