The result was Procedurally close This AfD was created improperly and never transcldued and the original nominator no longer thinks the article should be deleted. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:17, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, something got messed up again and the nomination page did not load as expected. Anyway, I believe this article should be deleted because the topic has not attracted significant coverage in reliable sources (WP:SIGCOV), thus failing WP:GNG and WP:BASIC guidelines. Wikipedia should not have an article just because he is a great-great-nephew of the mother of the British queen (WP:INVALIDBIO). He is simply too obscure.

Something does appear to have screwed up, I suspect the AFD software cannot cope with a title of this length. Actually, I think you will find that Earls would be regarded as inherently notable. However, if you really want to persist with your call for deletion I suggest we may have to move this article to a shorter title, e.g. drop the "and Kinghorne".

@Surtsicna and PatGallacher: I stumbled across this old nomination while doing some cleanup. If either of you still think this article should be deleted two years later I suggest starting a new AfD. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:16, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks, * Pppery *. It seems the guy has since decided to become a registered sexual predator, which has attracted enough coverage for us to keep the article. Surtsicna (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
