Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to the United Kingdom. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|United Kingdom|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to the United Kingdom. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

No evidence of notability, most of the sources cited don't even mention the subject, and BEFORE finds nothing better (although I should add that searching is a bit tricky, as there are plenty of Lawrence Hunts out there). Very insufficiently referenced, as well, esp. for a BLP, and involves quite a lot of COI editing, making it effectively just vanispamcruftisement.

Strongly suspect this is WP:COI. New user created this page, made trivial edits to get ability to create articles, and created it.

ko:김승민 큐레이터 ("Kim Seung-min Curator") this is the corresponding article on the Korean Wikipedia; it probably should be deleted too because it's clearly COI. It was created by a "Curatorkim" user (likely Kim herself); the article was made just a few days before the enwiki version.

My guess is that Kim hired someone to write this article in English for her. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 02:26, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It might be worth noting that the article title probably should be Stacey Gregg (the page with that name has been deleted a few times previously). Don't think she was ever known as Stacy (without the e). She was also known for roles in the US as Stacey Maxwell, eg in The Virginian, The Monkees and Batman. In the UK she's known for roles in Crossroads https://www.newspapers.com/image/893742133 and playing Sandy in Grease alongside Richard Gere eg https://www.newspapers.com/image/840906998 There's a few more hits at https://www.newspapers.com/search/results/?keyword=%22Stacey+Gregg%22++&region=gb-eng worth checking the British Newspaper Archive as well, see also this two-page articles from the TV Times in 1971 (page 8-9) https://mcmweb.co.uk/tvtimes/1971/Nov%206th%201971.pdf Piecesofuk (talk) 08:54, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previous PROD (endorsed and deleted) for a subject who has no secondary sources, does not meet WP:NAUTHOR nor WP:JOURNALIST. The subject's claim to a PhD cannot be verified - I wrote to the alleged awarding institution as neither I nor others could find any PhD and the institution provided no information. The restoration of this one seems to have been an error, caught up in this mass restore of soft deleted articles [1] where discussion shows that the dePRODer intended to restore sports bios PRODed by a particular user, but included this one apprently by accident.

No significant coverage. Aŭstriano (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Engineered constructs says:

    Buildings, including private residences, transportation facilities and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability.

      The review notes: "Sitting in the Primo bar of this vast new 1,021-room hotel — the biggest in London — we looked out of the window and tried to take in Big Ben at sunset. There should have been a clear view to the Houses of Parliament from the building, which resembles an enormous tenpin bowling ball with the top sliced off, and is on the roundabout site of the long-derelict former offices of the Inner London Education Authority. But despite the location just south of Westminster Bridge — we wanted to be close to the action in the run-up to the election — it was difficult to catch a glimpse of Westminster Palace, the target of Brown, Clegg and Cameron’s ambitions."

      The review notes: "It’s hard to know where to start with the chop-slapping accuracy of the phrase “horrible place”. You know the roundabout on the south side of Westminster Bridge which has been a huge stinking mess of building site behind vast forbidding hoardings for about 200 years? Well, now it’s even uglier. Because what is there now is a big round black thing called the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza – although I believe they brand it “Park Plaza Westminster Bridge” to make absolutely certain you are aware it is a grand international chain, and the famous river crossing is merely tagged on as an address to help Japanese overnighters give easy directions to their taxi. This hulking carbuncstrosity – which claims (by all the gods) to be a “design-led hotel”, as if that were a positive thing in some way – is self-besplattered with enormous bill posters (which is not very “design-led” if you ask me) advertising “500 Studio Rooms ideal for families”, “Five distinctive dining and entertainment experiences”, “1,200 square-metre, pillar-free ballroom”, “31 additional meeting rooms, two executive lounges and free Wi-Fi throughout” and “Spa with eight treatment rooms and a Fitness Centre complete with 15-metre swimming pool”. Ooh, “pillar-free”. How thrilling."

    3. Jeffs, Lotte (October 2010). "Hotel of the Month: Park Plaza Westminster". Diva. p. 70. ProQuest 2370993087.

      The review notes: "Westminster's Park Plaza offers all the inconspicuousness of a big city chain hotel, but with those stylish flourishes and designer details that make doing the dirty feel a little less sordid. Make sure you book a room above the fifth floor to enjoy a panoramic view of the Houses of Parliament (that other den of iniquity), the Thames and a load of little people with far less glamorous and exciting lives than yours - obviously - scurrying home to their partners over Westminster Bridge. The rooms themselves offer everything you need for a night of illicit infidelity - namely a big comfy bed, a power shower and a Do Not Disturb sign. The hotel's restaurant serves really good, elegant, first-date food (no burritos that will leave a trail of salsa down your chin and have your mistress wondering if she really is doing the wrong thing!), the lighting is flattering and the service attentive but not too much so. There's also a good-sized pool and spa at the hotel so you can feel thoroughly cleansed the morning after the night before."

      The review notes: "Run by mammoth hotel chain Radisson, who also run the Park Inn and art 'otel brands, Park Plaza Westminster is a slick operation that also caters to the masses. With 1,023 rooms and suites, it's closer to a cruise ship than to its neighbour and rival, Premier Inn. Rooms are stripped back, with white walls and a dark wooden table making up the skeleton of the space. The minimalism is deliberate; the majority of rooms have a screensaver view of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and The London Eye. So close are you to the Elizabeth Tower, you might as well be reading the ten o' clock news. The hotel has a gym, pool, steam room, sauna and spa. Brasserie Joel is also a dining experience worth slowing down for. The French restaurant serves up classics like beef bourguignon, guinea fowl and French onion soup alongside an extensive wine menu."

      The review notes: "After years of having to look at a monstrous office block at the centre of the roundabout just south of Westminster Bridge, we now have something new and infinitely nicer to consider - the futuristic, cylindershaped Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel. Located a minute's walk from the London Eye and two minutes from the Houses of Parliament, this 1,021-room hotel is an ideal base for a sightseeing weekend in London. While not directly on the river, the hotel has uninterrupted views of Westminster Bridge. More than half the rooms have their own kitchenettes, and 27 have outdoor terraces (these rooms will open shortly). There's also a brasserie-style restaurant, a sushi bar, coffee shop and an eight-treatment-room spa with a swimming-pool and gym. While rooms with river views cannot be guaranteed, you can request one; and here's a tip - any room with the number 69 in it will have a river view (269, 369 etc). From floors two to seven, you can see Westminster Bridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament; from floors eight to 12, you will see the river, too."

      The article notes: "The largest hotel ever built in London will bottle all its own water to offer guests instead of expensive mineral brands.The final beam of the £350 million Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel was bolted into place by Mayor Boris Johnson last night at the 'topping out' ceremony.The 1,021-room riverside hotel on the South Bank, which offers uninterrupted views of the Houses of Parliament from the former site of the Greater London Council building, will be one of the greenest in the capital once it opens early next year.The onsite water plant is expected to produce more than a million bottles of triple-filtered tap water ‹ sparkling and still ‹ each year, using 10,000 reusable sterilised bottles for the hotel's restaurants, mini-bars and spa."

      The article notes: "More than 840 investors have been refused mortgages on £300m of luxury hotel rooms they were to buy at a recently completed development in central London.In 2007, investors put down deposits for rooms at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London, a 1,021-room apart-hotel and conference venue that opened last month.On 6 April the developer, Park Plaza, served notice to the investors to complete their purchases.Park Plaza had sold the hotel rooms off plan to private investors.The buyers agreed to pay £300,000 on average for a hotel room with the promise of a 6% annual return on their money over five years.But the downturn and the lack of bank finance means no investor has been able to secure a mortgage against the assets on a non-recourse basis."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Park Plaza Westminster Bridge to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

WP:BLP of a karateka, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing notability criteria for sportspeople. As always, sports figures are not automatically notable just for existing, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them and their accomplishments -- but this is referenced entirely to primary source content self-published by organizations he was directly affiliated with, showing no GNG-worthy reliable sourcing whatsoever, and claims absolutely nothing about him that would be "inherently" notable without proper GNG-worthy sourcing.
There's also not a single inbound link to this article from any other Wikipedia article but List of karateka -- and while that isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself, it does kind of imply something about notability if there aren't any other articles with his name in them at all. Even after doing a text search on "Dave Kershaw", every single other instance of that name in Wikipedia is referring to a yachter, a scientist or a Canadian record producer, not a karateka.
Note also prior discussion (which did pertain to this same Dave Kershaw) which landed as a delete — this was recreated four years later by a different WP:SPA with no history of editing on any other topic, the same situation as the prior deleted version, thus continuing to suggest a potential WP:COI.

Keep as article creator. The Act is undeniably significant, as it abolished the Benefit of clergy, and any work which discusses that subject will mention that it was abolished by this Act.

Similar to my nomination for Charles Breslin, this is another IRA biography of someone who seems to only attract coverage for his death in a particular incident involving undercover soldiers. The description and debate surrounding the manner of his killing could easily be reflected in other articles. Leonstojka (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. In the nomination, it is suggested that the main topic here (the subject's death) "could easily be reflected in other articles". Seeming to imply, if I'm reading the nom correctly, a possible merge/redirect option as WP:ATD. What target is proposed? Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland? Or elsewhere? (I ask mainly as, while I think I understand the reason for the nomination, I personally can't support deletion. Not when, it seems, the nomination itself suggests that alternatives to deletion are available? ...) Guliolopez (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the article itself should be deleted and perhaps some content (the details of the killing itself, judicial review) salvaged for other articles. This is a different thing to the Charles Breslin nomination, because here there isn't really an obvious destination to merge/redirect into. Is there a more typical process for these kinds of situations? Should I have just opened a discussion about merging/redirecting on the article talkpage?
    As you said, Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland is one merge possibility, and so is 14 Intelligence Company (it should be noted that, contrary to the outdated article, Fleming was not killed by the SAS), but I just don't see how a standalone page on this person can be justified (it's one of many Troubles related biographies that are basically 'man joins IRA, gets shot by undercover soldiers, the end'), with the contents dominated by whether or not his death was legally sound (although, it has to be said, some don't even do this much: see my nomination of Kevin Coen). There are IRA figures like Ivor Bell who easily pass WP:SIGCOV, but gunmen like Fleming don't meet that threshold IMO. Leonstojka (talk) 21:09, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Generously, I can find no independent evidence that this company is notable in Wikipedia's sense. I find only the typical press-release type articles in sources that advertise new products when prompted by businesses, or announce business decisions based on releases from businesses. Slightly less generously, the article has items that fail verification, which suggests exaggeration or fantasy. Totally ungenerously, this is a business whose UK companies house records suggest is barely active and rather small. Google searches for the business find its social media sites (Facebook etc.) and nothing else. Google searches for its products find the products of other companies, not its own. The company has an impressive-seeming website but I only found the website via our Wikipedia article, and much of the text on individual products purportedly supplied by this company is actually word-for-word identical to text on other companies' sites. The company's website has an extensive catalogue of products, but no online shop, just a download our app option, and a generic send us a message. This is jut not normal behaviour for companies. They either make something that's not sold directly (in which case they don't have an app), or they make something and sell it (in which case they have an obvious way to buy). The whole thing doesn't add up. Ungenerously, I think we have to consider the possibility that this business is little more than a fantasy, a website and a companies house record.

No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media. Aŭstriano (talk) 00:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Portsmouth. Other articles about shopping malls give details such as what movies they've appeared in, what historical registries they're on... According to this article, the Cascades Shopping Centre is just a shopping center. Merge with no prejudice against re-creation if sourcing establishing independent notability can be found. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Not a great article, in need of editing, sourcing and removal of non-encyclopaedic comments, but the subject seems clearly notable enough for inclusion. I also note that the proposer states No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media, which suggests that there is significant in-depth coverage in local media. Unless there is something in our notability guidelines that excludes local media, and I certainly cannot find anything, then this statements seems to contradict the proposal. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm browsing the British Newspaper Archive on my phone at the moment, which makes it difficult to assess things properly, but I'm seeing quite a lot of substantial coverage of the early stages of planning and building the shopping centre (up to 1987) in the Portsmouth Evening News, which is more "regional" than "local" in nature. I will investigate fully when I get home tonight. The Cascades is a prominent shopping centre, comparable to those listed in the navbox at the bottom of the article; I feel continued coverage "should" be findable – quite probably in Portsmouth Reference Library, which I have used before. I will follow up on this later. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:10, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. As far as I can tell, the only purpose of this act was to extend one prior act of Parliament (regarding importation of silk), and for less than two years, until 1781. As a second choice, merge per Mauls. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:11, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Expiring laws continuance legislation rather than delete. The page name is a plausible redirect: it appears in Current Law Statutes: [28]. The content is verifiable with independent sources [29] [30] and is useful for other articles. The importation of Italian organzined silk was very important at that time due to the American War: [31] [32] (which was, by this time, a World War against the French, Spanish and Dutch, taking place in Europe and India). Ideally, this should be discussed in an article on the silk trade, but Expiring laws continuance legislation will do for now, unless someone identifies a better target. I absolutely oppose deletion.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Virtually unsourced, with the only non-database source in the article being about court proceedings for a nearby accident and not providing WP:SIGCOV for the park at all.

A WP:BEFORE gives me the Daily Mail, a park of the same name in Essex, and another article about the Essex park. Also a local newspaper which could be interesting if it wasn't just two paragraphs of paraphrasing the placement of a Lincolnshire park in a blog's UK top 10. And another interview in a local newspaper.

Of everything I found, this might be the closest to SIGCOV, but it is heavily quote-based and also from the aforementioned local newspaper. Nothing that makes it look like Fantasy Island is passing WP:GNG, or that it is even the most notable Fantasy Island UK amusement park. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can find this article about the park being bought, but it's fairly routine stuff. Nothing that makes me feel this park is enough to pass GNG, so delete, albeit it is a weak one. CoconutOctopus talk 21:46, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a lengthy list of candidates per constituency in last year's UK general election. It is all sourced to a single website. It violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY: it is not an encyclopaedia article and is better suited to Wikidata. We have all this information elsewhere (in the individual constituency articles) if someone wants to find out who stood in a particular constituency. What is the value of having it all in big Wikipedia tables repeated here? Bondegezou (talk) 20:38, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've found it helpful on numerous occasions in my work, it saves me so much time rather than having to go into individual constituencies to find out. It exists for countless other countries and deleting it would only hinder. I would agree that if it were being created now then it would be problematic but it would ADD burdens, admittedly for only a few people but us nevertheless, rather than making anything more simple or easier to use. Please keep this genuinely very helpful article. Kepleo123 (talk) 21:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How is it a valid navigational article?

This was draftified after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Australia Jillaroos tour of England in April 2025. Only one source from after that date has been added, [34] which basically just repeats that no tour seems to be happening. Which leaves us with an article on a 2025 tour of England dealing with, er, one game in Las Vegas. Yet the article still proudly proclaims "The 2025 Jillaroo tour of England is a proposed tour of England by Australia women's national rugby league team in October and November 2025. The tour is scheduled to see the inaugural edition of the Women's rugby league Ashes contested." as its lead, even though basically nothing of this is true or likely to happen. Fram (talk) 10:49, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Events, Rugby league, England, and Australia. Fram (talk) 10:49, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The main issue last time was that the article stated the tour was definitely happening which was admitted to be a problem and why the article was redraftified. The article has since been partly rewriten to state that it is a proposed tour with both the lead being altered and a post-Vegas section to further explain why. Article is sufficiently cited, especially now the article is about a proposed tour, and has passed AfC twice. Mn1548 (talk) 13:13, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That was just one of the many issues with the article raised in the original AfD, and the article now still calls it "scheduled" in the lead section, like I quote above, as if it is nearly certain to happen. It also, already in the lead, repeats the debunked claim of this being part of the Ashes. It still treats the Vegas match as part of the tour of England. As far as I can tell, hardly any issue that lead to the draftification has been solved. Fram (talk) 13:19, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "Repeats the debunked claim of this being part of the Ashes. It still treats the Vegas match as part of the tour of England."
    Im sorry, when did this become a debunked claim? Or an issue brought up in the previous AfD?
    • Ref 5 (RFL) "We have the Ashes Tours against Australia in 2025, which of course begins with a historic fixture in Las Vegas for England Women against the Jillaroos".
    • Ref 14 (IRL) "The Las Vegas fixture will count as part of the historic Ashes series between the two nations, which will continue when England travel to Australia at the end of the 2025 season."

    Vegas being test 1 of the Ashes is also eluded to in Ref 13 aswell.

    Further, what's wrong with "scheduled"? This tour has been scheduled in the IRL international calendar since 2023 (see Ref 3). Something scheduled isn't a certainty, hence why the lead was rewrote to state it is a proposed tour in lieu of no confirmed fixtures.Mn1548 (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No sources have treated the Las Vegas game as part of the Ashes, no one has said we are one up or down in the series, it is not a thing, despite initial hopes by the organisers. Ref 14 above talks about England touring Australia, not the other way round, which indicates the level of scheduling this tour ever had. If reliable, independent sources don´t treat the Vegas game, now that it has happened, as part of the Adhes nor as part of an Australian tour in England, then neither should we. The lack of new sources since the AfD shows that nothing realky has changed which would warrant recreation. Fram (talk) 07:31, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Your arguing as if the remaining fixtures have been cancelled. If they had, your argument would have merit. Re ref 14 being a tour of Australia, subsequent references have stated a host change, that doesn't invalidate the entire article just because one thing has changed. LibStar's argument below is valid that Wikipedia doesn't do proposed events, which is why I'm changing my stance to weak keep as I still think the article is sufficiently notable regardless. Your argument ignores alot on info in referenced sources. Mn1548 (talk) 08:34, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I'm arguing as if the remaining fixtures have never been really scheduled in the first place, there were just vague plans but nothing concrete. Fram (talk) 09:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "Despite no confirmation of further games" we don't create an article for an event that isn't even confirmed. The article tries to pad out content from Rugby League Las Vegas. LibStar (talk) 05:58, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If AfD discussion concludes a removal from mainspace. I would suggest a redirect to Rugby League Las Vegas#2025 event as an alternative to deletion. Mn1548 (talk) 08:39, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The title "2025 Jillaroo tour of England" is not a logical search term for the Las Vegas 2025 event though. Fram (talk) 09:37, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirects are also their so people who are searching for the tour can find adequate information on the subject. If the remaining fixtures of this tour are to be called off then the Vegas match will be pretty much the entire tour with the article requiring a sentence or two extra to explain the intent of it being match one of a wider tour. Mn1548 (talk) 12:51, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all the fixtures that currently exist are covered at Rugby League Las Vegas, if and only if more fixtures are actually confirmed should this be re-created. Don't see a redirect as a plausible search term that would not end up deleted at WP:RFD. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:21, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify – for same reasons as previous AfD. Article has been improved but still has some issues – so although what is there is well sourced considering the uncertainty surrounding the tour, the gaps in the information are a problem. It can be moved back to draft space where concerns over wording regarding scheduling/confirmation of matches can be dealt with, and it can stay in there until there are any official announcements on the situation. If/when cancellation is confirmed it may be interesting to see how this is reported – possibly with sources providing sufficient in-depth coverage on the fiasco that it becomes more notable because it did not happen.

Previous PROD (endorsed and deleted) for a subject who has no secondary sources, does not meet WP:NAUTHOR nor WP:JOURNALIST. The subject's claim to a PhD cannot be verified - I wrote to the alleged awarding institution as neither I nor others could find any PhD and the institution provided no information.

No significant coverage. Aŭstriano (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Engineered constructs says:

    Buildings, including private residences, transportation facilities and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability.

      The review notes: "Sitting in the Primo bar of this vast new 1,021-room hotel — the biggest in London — we looked out of the window and tried to take in Big Ben at sunset. There should have been a clear view to the Houses of Parliament from the building, which resembles an enormous tenpin bowling ball with the top sliced off, and is on the roundabout site of the long-derelict former offices of the Inner London Education Authority. But despite the location just south of Westminster Bridge — we wanted to be close to the action in the run-up to the election — it was difficult to catch a glimpse of Westminster Palace, the target of Brown, Clegg and Cameron’s ambitions."

      The review notes: "It’s hard to know where to start with the chop-slapping accuracy of the phrase “horrible place”. You know the roundabout on the south side of Westminster Bridge which has been a huge stinking mess of building site behind vast forbidding hoardings for about 200 years? Well, now it’s even uglier. Because what is there now is a big round black thing called the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza – although I believe they brand it “Park Plaza Westminster Bridge” to make absolutely certain you are aware it is a grand international chain, and the famous river crossing is merely tagged on as an address to help Japanese overnighters give easy directions to their taxi. This hulking carbuncstrosity – which claims (by all the gods) to be a “design-led hotel”, as if that were a positive thing in some way – is self-besplattered with enormous bill posters (which is not very “design-led” if you ask me) advertising “500 Studio Rooms ideal for families”, “Five distinctive dining and entertainment experiences”, “1,200 square-metre, pillar-free ballroom”, “31 additional meeting rooms, two executive lounges and free Wi-Fi throughout” and “Spa with eight treatment rooms and a Fitness Centre complete with 15-metre swimming pool”. Ooh, “pillar-free”. How thrilling."

      The review notes: "Westminster's Park Plaza offers all the inconspicuousness of a big city chain hotel, but with those stylish flourishes and designer details that make doing the dirty feel a little less sordid. Make sure you book a room above the fifth floor to enjoy a panoramic view of the Houses of Parliament (that other den of iniquity), the Thames and a load of little people with far less glamorous and exciting lives than yours - obviously - scurrying home to their partners over Westminster Bridge. The rooms themselves offer everything you need for a night of illicit infidelity - namely a big comfy bed, a power shower and a Do Not Disturb sign. The hotel's restaurant serves really good, elegant, first-date food (no burritos that will leave a trail of salsa down your chin and have your mistress wondering if she really is doing the wrong thing!), the lighting is flattering and the service attentive but not too much so. There's also a good-sized pool and spa at the hotel so you can feel thoroughly cleansed the morning after the night before."

      The review notes: "Run by mammoth hotel chain Radisson, who also run the Park Inn and art 'otel brands, Park Plaza Westminster is a slick operation that also caters to the masses. With 1,023 rooms and suites, it's closer to a cruise ship than to its neighbour and rival, Premier Inn. Rooms are stripped back, with white walls and a dark wooden table making up the skeleton of the space. The minimalism is deliberate; the majority of rooms have a screensaver view of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and The London Eye. So close are you to the Elizabeth Tower, you might as well be reading the ten o' clock news. The hotel has a gym, pool, steam room, sauna and spa. Brasserie Joel is also a dining experience worth slowing down for. The French restaurant serves up classics like beef bourguignon, guinea fowl and French onion soup alongside an extensive wine menu."

      The review notes: "After years of having to look at a monstrous office block at the centre of the roundabout just south of Westminster Bridge, we now have something new and infinitely nicer to consider - the futuristic, cylindershaped Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel. Located a minute's walk from the London Eye and two minutes from the Houses of Parliament, this 1,021-room hotel is an ideal base for a sightseeing weekend in London. While not directly on the river, the hotel has uninterrupted views of Westminster Bridge. More than half the rooms have their own kitchenettes, and 27 have outdoor terraces (these rooms will open shortly). There's also a brasserie-style restaurant, a sushi bar, coffee shop and an eight-treatment-room spa with a swimming-pool and gym. While rooms with river views cannot be guaranteed, you can request one; and here's a tip - any room with the number 69 in it will have a river view (269, 369 etc). From floors two to seven, you can see Westminster Bridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament; from floors eight to 12, you will see the river, too."

      The article notes: "The largest hotel ever built in London will bottle all its own water to offer guests instead of expensive mineral brands.The final beam of the £350 million Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel was bolted into place by Mayor Boris Johnson last night at the 'topping out' ceremony.The 1,021-room riverside hotel on the South Bank, which offers uninterrupted views of the Houses of Parliament from the former site of the Greater London Council building, will be one of the greenest in the capital once it opens early next year.The onsite water plant is expected to produce more than a million bottles of triple-filtered tap water ‹ sparkling and still ‹ each year, using 10,000 reusable sterilised bottles for the hotel's restaurants, mini-bars and spa."

      The article notes: "More than 840 investors have been refused mortgages on £300m of luxury hotel rooms they were to buy at a recently completed development in central London.In 2007, investors put down deposits for rooms at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London, a 1,021-room apart-hotel and conference venue that opened last month.On 6 April the developer, Park Plaza, served notice to the investors to complete their purchases.Park Plaza had sold the hotel rooms off plan to private investors.The buyers agreed to pay £300,000 on average for a hotel room with the promise of a 6% annual return on their money over five years.But the downturn and the lack of bank finance means no investor has been able to secure a mortgage against the assets on a non-recourse basis."

WP:BLP of a karateka, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing notability criteria for sportspeople. As always, sports figures are not automatically notable just for existing, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them and their accomplishments -- but this is referenced entirely to primary source content self-published by organizations he was directly affiliated with, showing no GNG-worthy reliable sourcing whatsoever, and claims absolutely nothing about him that would be "inherently" notable without proper GNG-worthy sourcing.
There's also not a single inbound link to this article from any other Wikipedia article but List of karateka -- and while that isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself, it does kind of imply something about notability if there aren't any other articles with his name in them at all. Even after doing a text search on "Dave Kershaw", every single other instance of that name in Wikipedia is referring to a yachter, a scientist or a Canadian record producer, not a karateka.
Note also prior discussion (which did pertain to this same Dave Kershaw) which landed as a delete — this was recreated four years later by a different WP:SPA with no history of editing on any other topic, the same situation as the prior deleted version, thus continuing to suggest a potential WP:COI.

Generously, I can find no independent evidence that this company is notable in Wikipedia's sense. I find only the typical press-release type articles in sources that advertise new products when prompted by businesses, or announce business decisions based on releases from businesses. Slightly less generously, the article has items that fail verification, which suggests exaggeration or fantasy. Totally ungenerously, this is a business whose UK companies house records suggest is barely active and rather small. Google searches for the business find its social media sites (Facebook etc.) and nothing else. Google searches for its products find the products of other companies, not its own. The company has an impressive-seeming website but I only found the website via our Wikipedia article, and much of the text on individual products purportedly supplied by this company is actually word-for-word identical to text on other companies' sites. The company's website has an extensive catalogue of products, but no online shop, just a download our app option, and a generic send us a message. This is jut not normal behaviour for companies. They either make something that's not sold directly (in which case they don't have an app), or they make something and sell it (in which case they have an obvious way to buy). The whole thing doesn't add up. Ungenerously, I think we have to consider the possibility that this business is little more than a fantasy, a website and a companies house record.

No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media. Aŭstriano (talk) 00:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Portsmouth. Other articles about shopping malls give details such as what movies they've appeared in, what historical registries they're on... According to this article, the Cascades Shopping Centre is just a shopping center. Merge with no prejudice against re-creation if sourcing establishing independent notability can be found. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Not a great article, in need of editing, sourcing and removal of non-encyclopaedic comments, but the subject seems clearly notable enough for inclusion. I also note that the proposer states No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media, which suggests that there is significant in-depth coverage in local media. Unless there is something in our notability guidelines that excludes local media, and I certainly cannot find anything, then this statements seems to contradict the proposal. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm browsing the British Newspaper Archive on my phone at the moment, which makes it difficult to assess things properly, but I'm seeing quite a lot of substantial coverage of the early stages of planning and building the shopping centre (up to 1987) in the Portsmouth Evening News, which is more "regional" than "local" in nature. I will investigate fully when I get home tonight. The Cascades is a prominent shopping centre, comparable to those listed in the navbox at the bottom of the article; I feel continued coverage "should" be findable – quite probably in Portsmouth Reference Library, which I have used before.

I do not believe that it has ever been the intention of Wikipedia to raise to article levels minor electoral areas in local government as such. Obviously a ward may encompass an area such as a village that is relevant in and of itself, but in this case, it is simply a collation of electoral results, which is by no means significant coverage.

  • Keep with clear precedent. There are thousands of electoral constituency articles on Wikipedia of all types and AFDs have routinely return Keep results. This article is well written and sourced. MRSC (talk) 03:16, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    For national election constituencies, that is true. But this is only for electing local government. Such wards do not see news articles speculating about who might win, or possible candidates. Those elected are unlikely to ever generate GNG coverage such as would lead to them getting an article. It is a very different scale than a constituency for national government.
    If this is to be retained, does that mean that we ought to have a goal of creating articles for all 8,694 such wards in th UK? Not to mention equivalents worldwide. Kevin McE (talk) 06:54, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge to City of Colchester. Local city ward lacks notability and fails GNG. There is no precedent or basis for any suggestion that constituencies are automatically notable, particularly at the local level with only a few thousand voters. Most of the other thousands of articles are at the national or regional level and are substantially larger entities (and many of them should also be deleted or merged). The suggestion that the article is well-sourced is simply laughable, the only sources are simple election results data for the council, nothing remotely resembling significant coverage. We are not a database for every minor election result without context. Reywas92Talk 03:40, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    What would be merged? Are you proposing that the article for the city should have every result of every ward election since the area became a local authority? Or that this one ward somehow gets exceptional treatment? Kevin McE (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge the prose (about five lines), and link the tables of results. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 01:52, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for replying, but why would the City of Colchester article be improved by having some trivial data about a former ward, while a couple of dozen other former and current wards do not have the same details given? Or why the results of this one (former) ward should be preserved and reported while those of the others are not? Kevin McE (talk) 06:59, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I won't be crying into my beer if this article is deleted, but WP:ATD states that "If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page" and WP:ATD-M that "articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded could be merged into larger articles". So my reply is based on the deletion policy.
    Speaking of which: per below, instructions for multiple-article AfDs are at WP:BUNDLE. Hope this helps. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    By no means intended as an attack on you, but I think it is a huge flaw of the deletion system that an instruction gets sent to a talk page telling editors there that material from another article is to be incorporated into it, with no consideration of whether it is appropriate or proportionate, often when there has been no awareness on the part of the editors committed to the target page that such a thing is under discussion. It comes across (again, by no means intending this as personal to you) as an extraordinary systemic arrogance that one part of Wikipedia tells another what it must do with no consultation at all.
    But that is a bigger issue than the article at hand.
    Thanks to the signposting to WP:Bundle, but that doesn't seem to deal with later additions to an AfD, so I'll see what happens here, then propose it if there is (what seems to me) a suitable outcome here. Kevin McE (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


I'm not sure what the method is for turning a simple AfD into a multiple article AfD, but anything that can be said about this article seems likely equally true of Castle (Colchester ward). And if both of those are deleted, I would suggest that Template:Electoral wards in the City of Colchester, being then is void, should equally be removed.

Self-promotional article, subject does not meet notability standards. Article was created and heavily edited by user RowenaFernandes, who was banned for advertising and COI. All significant subsequent edits and expansions (most of them unsourced) came from a succession of accounts whose only contributions are on this article, likely to circumvent the initial ban. These accounts include 112.203.124.109, Litolividomaliwat, Service pa, Erictobeprecise, and Sonia.sherif. The attempts at ban evasion and COI/self-promotion should be enough for deletion, but the subject also has received no coverage besides a handful of low quality and self-published sources.

Virtually unsourced, with the only non-database source in the article being about court proceedings for a nearby accident and not providing WP:SIGCOV for the park at all.

A WP:BEFORE gives me the Daily Mail, a park of the same name in Essex, and another article about the Essex park. Also a local newspaper which could be interesting if it wasn't just two paragraphs of paraphrasing the placement of a Lincolnshire park in a blog's UK top 10. And another interview in a local newspaper.

Of everything I found, this might be the closest to SIGCOV, but it is heavily quote-based and also from the aforementioned local newspaper. Nothing that makes it look like Fantasy Island is passing WP:GNG, or that it is even the most notable Fantasy Island UK amusement park. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can find this article about the park being bought, but it's fairly routine stuff. Nothing that makes me feel this park is enough to pass GNG, so delete, albeit it is a weak one. CoconutOctopus talk 21:46, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, I think it's probably possible to scrounge up something from the few good sources there are. It might not be comprehensive but it can probably be improved enough to not need to be deleted. I can start working on it. ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 01:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true if you search and read about Alucidnation which is his Allias, you will find alot of refernces and articles about him. he has also appeared on the Grand Theft Auto IV game sound track. i have seen many articles on Wikipedia about music producers who hardly have any credbility compared to this producer. please do your research. i also have added more links to this producer.

I recommend you identify better sources and add them to the article to demonstrate the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO notability criteria. As a general rule at least WP:THREE are recommended. To assist - I have identified two EP reviews from a reliable source (Muzik): 2001 and 2003. There is also an Irish Times album review on ProQuest 309867414.

  • Comment: The release blurbs in Muzik help towards establishing notability, but a lot of the current references do not. If notable, no need to put into draft purgatory, just add more sources in reliable publications if they exist.--Milowenthasspoken 14:27, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable footgolf player. The article was AI-generated and included multiple hallucinated citations that have been removed. What's left doesn't support notability under WP:GNG or WP:NSPORT; references are affiliated with him (his Facebook or his talent agency), or they are from official leagues and thus also not secondary coverage. I found one instance of WP:SIGCOV in my before search (Daily Record), but the rest of the coverage I found was WP:TRIVIALMENTION. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:26, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gulf Today is a single mention, GolfNews Vietnam appears to be routine match coverage, ITV is a trivial mention, and the Hemel Today piece appears to be a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE based solely on an interview with Clarke (and I would question the independence of an article that ends The Berkhamsted man is looking for help with sponsorship.

FIFA is not an independent source on footgolf players.

Another Vintagekits hagiography of an individual who lacks WP:SIGCOV. This was a man at the lower end of the IRA food chain whose only claim to fame is getting killed by an undercover soldier in a shoot-out.

Similar to my nomination for Charles Breslin, this is another IRA biography of someone who seems to only attract coverage for his death in a particular incident involving undercover soldiers. The description and debate surrounding the manner of his killing could easily be reflected in other articles. Leonstojka (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. In the nomination, it is suggested that the main topic here (the subject's death) "could easily be reflected in other articles". Seeming to imply, if I'm reading the nom correctly, a possible merge/redirect option as WP:ATD. What target is proposed? Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland? Or elsewhere? (I ask mainly as, while I think I understand the reason for the nomination, I personally can't support deletion. Not when, it seems, the nomination itself suggests that alternatives to deletion are available? ...) Guliolopez (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the article itself should be deleted and perhaps some content (the details of the killing itself, judicial review) salvaged for other articles. This is a different thing to the Charles Breslin nomination, because here there isn't really an obvious destination to merge/redirect into. Is there a more typical process for these kinds of situations? Should I have just opened a discussion about merging/redirecting on the article talkpage?
    As you said, Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland is one merge possibility, and so is 14 Intelligence Company (it should be noted that, contrary to the outdated article, Fleming was not killed by the SAS), but I just don't see how a standalone page on this person can be justified (it's one of many Troubles related biographies that are basically 'man joins IRA, gets shot by undercover soldiers, the end'), with the contents dominated by whether or not his death was legally sound (although, it has to be said, some don't even do this much: see my nomination of Kevin Coen). There are IRA figures like Ivor Bell who easily pass WP:SIGCOV, but gunmen like Fleming don't meet that threshold IMO. Leonstojka (talk) 21:09, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Individual notable for being involved in a single incident during the Troubles and the allegations concerning his death. This is a 2006 article from the days when quality control was somewhat loose (the username of the creator is hardly encouraging in that respect).

The content could easily be moved into other articles e.g. Strabane ambush, Shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland. Leonstojka (talk) 03:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/redirect to Strabane ambush. If the subject is primarily notable (which appears to be the case) for the SAS attack/ambush in which he died, then any related detail can be covered in the title which covers those events. Along with the other two people who died in that incident. There doesn't appear to be any reason to have a standalone title. Per WP:MERGEREASON and WP:1E and related guidelines/conventions. Guliolopez (talk) 11:04, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because this isn't information about the ambush, but about him. I don't think the biographical info here could be added to the Strabane ambush - that would expand that article with an emphasis on him beyond his part in the ambush, which would change the point of view. (It seems that there is less info about the two brothers, but that makes sense because Breslin had the rank of Commander.) I have found a few additional mentions in books here and here but will do some more searching. Lamona (talk) 22:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Earl of Rothes (Baronage of Scotland) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

From my research, this seems to be a paid-for "title" sold by a variety of 'heritage' companies. The article creates a deliberate confusion with the Earl of Rothes, which is a real heriditary title in the Peerage of Scotland. The article implies there was somehow a split between the "peerage" title and the "feudal" title of Earl of Rothes, which would allow the "feudal" title to be bestowed on someone else. No source is given for that claim.

The current "holder" of the title is supposedly a guy with Swiss and Antigua & Barbuda citizenship with a peacock article, a bunch of other weird awards and titles, and no connections to Scotland whatsoever.

The article itself wasn't created until December 2024 by the account Royalorders whose main task seems to be to anchor the claim into a variety of Wiki pages.

I can find no reliable sources that back up the claim that this title even exists, how and why it's different from the established Earl of Rothes, and who the current "holder" is. The only consistent source is a list from registryofscotsnobility.com, a nondescript and unverifiable website without listed owners or administrators, and which is likely just another forum for those who bought these kinds of titles. It's also noteworthy that the public agenda of the next meeting of the 'Registry of Scots Nobility' specifically mentions the creation of Wikipedia pages of their 'titles' as a success. All looks very fishy to me. — Arcaist (contr—talk) 11:05, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP The title exists (non-peerage in the baronage of Scotland) and was recognised by Lord Lyon, officer of the crown and the monarch's representative in Scotland: Sir Philip Christopher Ondaatje was infeft as at 26th November 2004 in “All and Whole the lands and other heritages forming the barony and territorial lordship of Leslie and the territorial earldom of Rothes together with the territorial office of Sheriff of Fife”, and was designed by Lyon Blair by Warrant dated 5th September 2006 (amended from 6th December 2005) Court of Lord Lyon
  • KEEP In addition to what Kellycrack88 said, the existence, validity, and ownership of the title are confirmed by: 1) Crown Charter of Confirmation dated October 19, 1859. NAS Ref. C2/262/No. 4/Folio 8; 2) Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, Section 63; 3) Certificate of Registration issued by the Scottish Barony Register (which is the only document that is taken into consideration by the Lord Lyon); 4) The mention of the title and its holder in Debretts (which requires proof of title for inclusion in its list) Royalorders (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Baronage of Scotland, no need for a separate article for something that exists but isn't notable at all. These titles don't have a real history (the actual notable title with history is the other Earl of Rothes) and aren't an honour or distinction but something you can simply buy and get registered. Fram (talk) 10:14, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes by only if the existing holder sells - I believe there are only about half a dozen scottish baronial earldoms in existence so its very rare if to be able to buy one - and Lord Lyon only grants arms to a virtuous and deserving individuals i.e. no criminal record or history that could bring the baronage into disrepute etc. Also a very interesting development is that the Baronage of Scotland Association has The Pledge an initiative that coverts these titles in a lifelong, hereditary honour rather than a temporary office that can be sold -- and binds the baron to a Baronial Code of Honour, allegiance to the crown, and paying a tithe to charity, if they get a criminal record as judged by their fellow barons they lose recognition of their title on the Roll. Anyway, I'm happy with what you propose Fram as yes the history should not be copy and paste of the peerage. Kellycrak88 (talk) 15:05, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fram @Royalorders Kellycrak88 (talk) 15:07, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "Lord Lyon only grants arms to a virtuous and deserving individuals" I'm sorry, that's bullshit. "no criminal record or history that could bring the baronage into disrepute" is 99% of the population. That that charity now proposed some non-binding, voluntary "pledge" for members (where barons don't need to be members at all in the first place) is of no value in general and certainly not for this AfD. Fram (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fram@Kellycrak88
    1. The non-peerage title of Earl of Rothes actually has its own separate history from the peerage title beginning on October 19, 1959, the date of the Crown Charter of Confirmation that I mentioned above.
    2. Parliament, in passing the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, in Section 63 sought to guarantee the right to bear the non-peerage title, recognizing in it a cultural historical value.
    3. Can we supersede the assessment already made by parliament and consider these titles of no value? No, in my opinion.
    4. We need to distinguish the notability of the non-peerage title (which is given by the history of its grant and its successors) from the notability of its current holder. The latter is not relevant to our considerations.
    5. However, it should be remembered that some of these non peerage titles even belong to Prince Williams or King Charles.
    6. The fact that these non peerage titles can be transferred to third parties is not decisive. In Germany and other countries there have been several cases of nobles agreeing to adopt aspirants to their title in exchange for many millions. None of this detracts from the notability of the transferred title.
    7. The question also remains whether it is useful and appropriate for non-peerage titles to have their own page. In my opinion, yes, if there is a clear and unambiguous statement on the page that the title has nothing to do with the peerage title. In my view, creating a page dedicated to a non-peerage title, with the clarification just mentioned, serves precisely to avoid confusion of the two titles, as well as to recognize the historical and cultural dignity of both.
    Royalorders (talk) 17:04, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you have any independent sources about this specific title? That is, sources independent from the holders and from the grantibg authorities? Have e.g. any newspapers given significant attention to this newish title? That´s the kind of thing we need to establish WP:GNG. Fram (talk) 17:42, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fram A secondary source that mentions the creation of the title in 1859? Difficult and unnecessary. You probably won't even find a secondary source that mentions the creation of the peerage title itself in 1458. What is certain is that the article on the peerage title of Earl of Rothes does not mention any secondary sources other than Debretts and Burke’s. However, Debretts (together with the certificate of registration in the SBR) is also mentioned on the page subject to this AfD. It is difficult to understand this disparity in requirements.
    The Crown Charter of Confirmation of 1859 s a public document and is accessible to the public, which is sufficient to prove that the title has its own history and dignity. A historical fact attested to in official documents has inherent notability. Royalorders (talk) 19:44, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Please read WP:N. That is not the way notability is determined on Wikipedia. And no, thexsource doesn´t have to be from the time it was created, any time since then will do. But it has to be independent and about the title, not just mentioning it. Fram (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with @Fram they are nearly always right Kellycrak88 (talk) 22:36, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fram interestingly there are seven baronage earldoms in the Baroange of Scotland (Arran, Breadalbane, Crawfurd-Lindsay, Errol, Nithsdale, Rothes, Wigtoun), one baronage marquisate (Huntly) and one baronage dukedom (Hamilton), all held in baroneum, where there is entitlement. Of these, four of the earldoms are extant, two are unclaimed, one is in dispute, the marquisate is extant held by a non-peer and the dukedom is held by a senior member of the Scottish peerage. Such nobles bear the honorific "The Much Honoured" (The Much Hon.) for distincting from honorifics attaching to peers of the realm. Kellycrak88 (talk) 11:26, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It's all part of the same absurd self-promotion campaign. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:45, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP The feudal Earldom of Rothes (Baronage of Scotland) is more than a personal title: it is a legally recognized dignity of ancient origin. By law it survived the 2004 abolition of feudal land tenure (Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000) and is recorded in Scottish registers. This institutional status, and its coverage in heraldic and genealogical sources (e.g. Debrett’s, Burke’s, the Scots Barony Register, Roll), meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline (WP:GNG). In particular, Scottish peerage and baronage titles are documented in numerous reliable publications, and important legal documents (Acts of Parliament, Crown Charters) attest to the title’s existence and history. The information in the article can be verified against these sources (satisfying WP:V), and the title has been the subject of court proceedings and heraldic rulings. Thus the subject is “notable” by WP:GNG/WP:N standards and can be covered under WP:RS. The article subject to AfD deserves to be kept also because it provides historical information on the origin of the non-peerage title and its extension, which the article on the peerage title does not cover as it is not relevant to that topic.
