[edit] Duke of Ballensworth

Duke of Ballensworth (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I can find no evidence of a person named the 'Duke of Ballensworth' or a place called Ballensworth in Cambridgeshire. The title does not appear in The Complete Peerage. Verica Atrebatum 10:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but once the fake references and nobility title is stripped from this, it fails WP:BIO pretty miserably. Also, joke articles are vandalism, which is speediable, too. Tubezone 23:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
