William Bentinck, Viscount Woodstock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Aristocratic heir who has been involved in serveral ventures. I don't see anything here which makes him stand out as particularly noteworthy. Flaming Ferrari (talk) 15:13, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - while not all viscounts (especially those who merely have honorifics) would automatically be notable in the 21st century, his charitable work pushes him over the line of WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep -- His father has (but does not use) the title Earl of Portland. However the Portland estates went to other heirs of the Dukes of Portland.  The Voidaphone Foundation award suggests that someone else thinks that he is notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:28, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think I'm coming down on the side of keeping articles on peers or their heirs, whether or not they sit in the House of Lords, as all their predecessors did (and therefore all meet WP:POLITICIAN) and it would be slightly odd and not of value to the project to break the chain of Wikipedia articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:40, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
