Robert Somerset, Marquess of Worcester

I don't think peerage is among Wikipedia notability criteria Lembit Staan (talk) 02:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: I was initially torn on this. A previous attempt to establish notability criteria for nobility failed, so we have to go by WP:GNG. The only major source that is not a passing mention is the Daily Mail, which is depreciated. Regardless I was hovering around weak keep until I saw the following snippet of information in the article Duke of Beaufort: "The title Marquess of Worcester is used as a courtesy title by the duke's eldest son and heir". This confirms to me that this is a non-notable position. Now, if this guy eventually becomes the Duke of Beaufort, then he will likely have the established notability for an article.

 * Delete not notable in his own right. He is a courtesy marquess but there is no certainty that he will become Duke of Beaufort. We should cross that bridge when we come to it. For now he is not notable in his own right and doesn't pass WP:GNG. For now just noteworthy for who his father is Uhooep (talk) 10:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable as he has an entry in UK Who's Who https://doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U17226 Piecesofuk (talk) 18:36, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete While the Who's Who mentioned above can be considered a reliable source in some cases, which is not the case for the other Who's Who, just being mentioned in a reliable source does not give notability. The actual guidelines calls for multiple, mentions in reliable sources that are significant. The mention of this person in Who's Who does not really meet the significant coverage requirement.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
