[edit] Angus Holden, 1st Baron Holden and Angus Holden, 3rd Baron Holden

Very obscure, no sources verified. Both articles are a pet project of User:Brian_Holden which also points towards vanity. --Mecanismo | Talk 12:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. They need work, but both clearly fulfill the criteria of WP:BIO. up+l+and 17:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. The trivial fact of being an MP makes the first notable (and there's an article on JSTOR on his 1874 election campaign). Being Lord Mayor for years must have generated no end of non-trivial reporting, which would require legwork in Bradford's libraries to find. Less convinced by the other one but it probably scrapes by. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Notable enough to be in the british national portait gallery. What few google results there are confirm his date of birth and death. I would have liked some confirmation about the house of lords. If he was there, he is certainly notable. Technically this is verifiable, but no one is actually going to dig up the papers from the 1950s on account of this guy. As for vanity, the guy is dead. Family self-promotion? Probably.

  • Comment. Vote is for both, comment based on information I looked at for Angus Holder, 3rd Baron Holden only. Irongargoyle 00:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Not just technically verifiable. They're actually available online now (with subscription, but I would guess that a lot of libraries make that available). There are many other hits for "Angus Holden" and "Lord Holden" in the database. up+l+and 04:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
