William Moulsoe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Declined prod due to contestation on article's talk page. However that rationale was that he was associated with a few notable people, and his input at Gayhurst House. However notability is not inherited. He could warrant a mention on both the Everard Digby and Gayhurst articles, but there is no notability on his own.

 * Comment Maybe it is too early in the AM here, but I am having trouble deciphering the prose of the article. I think this needs an editor to sort out the convoluted intro. Lightburst (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Selectively merge the last sentence to Gayhurst House and delete the rest per WP:NOTGENEALOGY. The prose is convoluted, I think, because it is so hard to explain how Moulsoe in particular is notable (he's not)—hence the multiple clauses connecting him with notable relatives.

 * Delete I already PRODed this. Looking at it again I still don’t think the subject is notable. As you can see on the talk page creator suggested merging part of it into another article. I’d be fine with that but I think the fundamental point is that while the subject was connected with notable people, he wasn’t notable himself. Mccapra (talk) 02:24, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to whichever associated article mentions him, no objections to any merge, but he does not appear to have stand alone notability. This is effectivelly a generalogical entry for 'someone related to someone who is notable'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Replaced with redirect to Gayhurst House per discussion. Smallus Editus (talk) 16:03, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I undid the change for now. You should not change the article while it is under discussion, even if the outcome is likely. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:32, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
