[edit] Auberon Herbert (landowner)

I can't find anything related to this person on Google. Even this search brings up people not the one described in the article. -- infinity0 20:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I am also nominating Aubrey Herbert, his supposed father, for deletion. This guy exists, although he has a very small number of hits (210 on google UK).-- infinity0 20:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both Auberon Herbert (landowner) as nn. -- infinity0 20:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both, non-notables. ♠PMC♠ 20:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, non-notable --TBC??? ??? ??? 20:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Real, interesting, but fairly marginally notable. Dlyons493 Talk 21:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Too bad, but I'm afraid I don't see what makes this article an encyclopedic subject. Interestingly, I was the first person to write about this landowning Auberon Herbert on Wikipedia, in an attempt to clarify the confusion caused by the wrong birth and death dates given for the philosopher Auberon Herbert. However, it would probably be better to just make a quick note of the potential for confusion in the latter article, if at all. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 22:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the article on Aubrey Herbert. What the heck is going on here???? This article cites 9 sources (admittedly all in print, so they're harder to check) and is linked to from 11 main-namespace pages (not counting lists or his son's page). He's clearly a real person, as testified to by the existence of non-Wikipedia google hits like this. In what sense is this non-notable? How can we delete this just as an afterthought to another AfD? - Nat Krause(Talk!) 21:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Only one source is talks about him specifically, [1] - not in print, and with 3 second-hand copies. However, I withdraw my vote for Aubrey Herbert - see what other people think. -- infinity0 21:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable enough. Eivindt@c 22:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Both Aubrey and Auberon Herbert, father and son, are certainly worthy of inclusion in an English language online encyclopaedia with 1,000,000 + articles, many of about truly ephemeral figures and topics. Both Aubrey and Auberon Herbert have a real and intimate connexion with Evelyn Waugh, one of the greatest English literary figures in the 20th century. Aubrey Herbert himself was twice offered the crown of Albania. The son figures, somewhat tangentially, in a number of famous British lives, and he was a very prominent figure in the various emigree communities of Eastern Europeans in Britain during the Communist era.

  • Keep. The ODNB has articles both on Auberon Herbert and his father. I removed the AFD tag which remained at Aubrey Herbert. u p p l a n d 07:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
