Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton
This nomination seems to rely on the notion that only Dukes who sit in the House of Lords are notable. (As it happens, there is only one such Duke, and he is on a leave of absence. None of the Royal Dukes now has a seat in the Lords.) But even a Duke has only to meet the Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline|general notability guideline, "If a topic has received significant coverage in Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources that are Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that Wikipedia:No original research|no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a passing mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." The point of  is not that subjects of our articles need to ''deserve'' an article, but that information about them should be verifiable. Reliable sources are available for this man, however deserving or underserving some might think him
