| * Well if that is the case, he looks to be proved wrong. I have changed about 20 "Most Nobles", including the high profile Wellington and Marlborough and so far not a murmur. What though has concerned me a little, as I look at these pages for the first time, is the very poor quality minimal content of some of these Duke's entries, which leads me to wonder why they are here at all. take for instance ], I'm very surprised no one has volunteered him for deletion, apart from enjoying his own name, and marrying a non notable woman and having 5 non notable children what has he done to be here. I do wonder if it is not this sort of vacuous page which irritates those with less interest in the subject. Perhaps those that want to see a compete peerage here, should wait until they have more information (assuming there is any) before creating these dreadful stubs. I note the most thrilling piece of intelligence on that page is "''George Granville Sutherland-Leveson-Gower (1850–1858), died young.''" I rather think we could have worked that out for ourselves. I am not against the members of the peerage appearing here, but at least let then be notable for more than being born. Their pages should conform to the same rules as all other notable people here. ] | ] 16:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :FWIW, I disagree: that page tells a lot: that the chap was a Duke, when he was Duke, when he was born and died, who his first wife was (not non-notable, by the way: she was a Mistress of the Robes and was created a Countess in her own right) and his second wife, who his children were and some of their relevant dates.

| :* If his wife was Mistress of the Robes, why is the page not on her instead then. Or are women on wikipedia only represented through their husbands. Obviously in her role as Mistress of the Robes she influenced many global events. However, I don't think just being a Duke makes one notable, they are hardly a rare or endangered species there must be many thousand world wide, or do you only want to see non-notable British dukes - I can think of quite a few obscure Italian noblemen who could nave a page too if you want to see that type of thing. ] | ] 17:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| *Thank you for the message. My problem is that from writing architecture one does seem to come into contact with the aristocracy. I have no problem with them, or those who wish to deify them. My problem comes from pages which are less than glorious, relating nothing more than their less than interesting children. I can deduct from the minimal information that a child born in 1890 and died in 1895 "died young", and have yet to meet a Duke referred to as as "The Most Noble" on anything other than a command from Buckingham Palace, and even HM is dropping a lot of the formality. So to see all this pompous piffle here is deeply irritating. I suspect the European aristos (while more often than not better bred) would encounter a less welcoming atmosphere - and if they were low achievers too, quite rightly. ] | ] 08:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==The Most Noble== | |||
| I just want some kind of style kept in. We were only using "The Most Noble" before because it's what goes in front of "Forenames, Duke of X" — now we're just stating the conventional style ("The Duke of X") "His Grace" is the appropriate one to use so I'm quite happy sticking to it. ] ] 20:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :But all peers are inherently notable not through their peerage alone but due to their membership of the House of Lords (or the Scottish and Irish Houses of Lords), and it seems to be an accepted principle that anyone who has been a member of a national legislature is automatically notable enough for inclusion. (Some articles on minor MPs are equally short and stubby, yet no one objects to them.) ] ] 21:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Proteus is quite right to state that members of national legislatures are regarded as automatically notable. Any hereditary peer before 1999 falls into that category. The solution to stubby articles on peers isn't to delete them but rather to expand them. ] ] 21:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
