Walter Ogilvy

This is a cut and past job from The Scots Peerage: Founded on Wood's Edition of Sir Robert Douglas's Peerage of Scotland. While the book is in the public domain, this paragraph he has pasted into an article provides little context and does little to establish notability. A ni Mate 14:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep and rewrite.~~ ~~He's obviously some sort of British noble. Granted, it all looks like gibberish, but that's because I'm American and don't understand this sort of thing. Cheers,~~ Dloh cierekim 14:32, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some sort of Scottish Lord. from the source document. Dloh cierekim 14:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, most of the people in that book are "some sort of Scottish lord". but that doesn't necessarily make them notable. A ni Mate 20:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How can one be sure? I know very little of such matters. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 22:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Switch to delete per rationale of nominator and per info from/rationale from Choess. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 13:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Ogilvy was the father of the first Lord Banff, but he wasn't "noble" himself; I don't think either that or the Provostship of Banff really establishes notability. Choess (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
