Delete Rich aristocratic kid who died of smallpox at age 20 without accomplishing anything other than having two kids of his own. Not notable. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it
Delete Wikipedia is not a biographical dictionary or a genealogical database. Just because your parent held a noble title, and you would have if you had not died, does not make you default notable enough for an article. We should stop doing place filler articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: He wasn't an Earl in his own right. Earl of Kingston was his father's subsidiary title which he was using as heir apparent. Not notable enough, even for a redirect. Fails WP:BIO. TheRedDomitor (talk) 01:25, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
