John Neville, 1st Baron Neville de Raby

[edit]

I deleted the entry for John Neville, 1st Baron Neville de Raby, as he was not Baron Neville de Raby, and the page was redirected several weeks ago to John Neville, Baron Neville. I'm not certain what if anything should be done for the entry immediately following the deletion, which is for Ralph Neville, 2nd Baron Neville de Raby.

Baron Neville "of Raby" in 1295 and 1459

[edit]

This article should be renamed to "Baron Neville", keeping in line with both the The Complete Peerage and the ODNB. The term "de Raby" appears nowhere in sources and should be dropped. Furthermore, the CP and other sources make it clear that the Neville titles of 1295 and 1459 are creations of the same barony, rather than different titles, and thus belong in the same wikipedia page. A disruptive user has recently been removing all sources I recently added and arbitrarily reverting to a 10-year-old version replete with errors and lacking in sources (he did not even take the time to select and remove only the parts that bothered him). He apparently thought that the 1295 and 1459 creations of the title were actually different titles – but the years-old version to which he reverted itself does not support his thesis.
