Spouses of the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a non-position that carries no weight or officiality at all, which is even admitted to in the article. Has been tagged for notability since August 2010.  role player 11:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I honestly can't tell if this is a joke article or not. The topic has no notability asserted, as the nom said.Jaque Hammer (talk) 12:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Unofficial title of an unofficial position that has no official role? While the person holding this "position" may well satisfy WP:GNG, the "position" itself is inherently non-notable as it doesn't really exist. Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  12:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 16:51, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The article makes a good job of justifying its deletion, but I would go further. 'Spouse' is not a title or position in the sense that it would usually be understood in Wikipedia. It is merely a relationship, as is mother, father, son, daughter, etc, and of course the holder of the political position may be in a legal partnership, live with somebody with whom they have no legal relationship, be sexually promiscuous, etc. Notability is not inherited and in some cases the person concerned may warrant a mention in the entry for the politician in question - see eg the entry for Ed Milliband, the current Leader of the Opposition. --AJHingston (talk) 17:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Per the above. No reference. Not notable. Zlqq2144(Talk Contribs) 14:12, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not a title or a position, unofficial or otherwise, as stated in the article, but simply a description. So what? -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
