Sir William Arbuthnot-Lane, 2nd Baronet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable- delete as per other non notable Baronets. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 08:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. The page could be re-directed to Arbuthnot Baronets if it is indeed the same family -( as this man has a hyphen I'm not sure) where he could have a couple of lines, but frankly there is barely a couple of lines worth recording and definitely nothing of note.

  • Merge/Redirectto Sir William Arbuthnot-Lane, 1st Baronet. Fails to demonstrate the subject satisfies WP:BIO. If multiple reliable independent sources with more substantial coverage can be found rather than just the directory listings in Who's Who and the Peerage books, such as (non-family history) books, magazines, or newspaper articles about the individual can be found, then an article could be recreated. Baronets do not appear to satisfy WP:N provisions for politicians. Edison 14:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep duplicating a baronetage is a reasonable thing for WP. JJL 17:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
    • What does that mean? Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 17:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
      • Same answer as my reply for the other Arbuthnot(t). JJL 18:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
        • There is no wikipedia guideline or policy which confers a presumption of notability on baronets. Even the failed proposal WP:NOBLE didn't go that far. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Based on [1] it appears to mean that if there is an article for one baronet, there should be articles for them all. DGG 00:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to Lane Baronets. He appears to have done nothing notable, and the article contradicts itself when it says that he was "a policeman", and then expands that with the info that he was a member of the Special Constabulary. A special constable is a part-time volunteer police officer, not an employee of a police force, and it is not a notable role. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to either his father or Lane Baronets. Pharamond 05:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete notability is not inherited at this level. Carlossuarez46 19:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
