Non-notable - only claim to notability is as a presumptive future Duke, and former Page of Honour. Unable to find any substantive references from Google (other than entries in peerage directories). Unsourced BLP, tagged since June. To the extent that coverage is merited, can be (and is) mentioned in Duke of Fife and Page of Honour. David 23:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect - Why would you go for delete when a merge/redirect to David Carnegie, Earl of Southesk is a perfectly legitimate proposal on the talk page, and can be accomplished easily and quickly without exercising the community with an AFD? Thanks ShoesssS 00:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
