Notability

Unfortunately, I've no time to research and add it at present, but reasons for the Marquess' notability are

When he was very young, ?two years old, his grandfather disinherited his father, and made him heir apparent to Blenheim Palace, although the title of Duke of Marlborough would still pass via his father. (This arrangement was said to be due to his father's severe drug addiction at the time, and his grandfather's fear that he would raise funds for his addiction by selling or mortgaging assets.)
He was also put in charge of (I forget the name of his position, and I'm not sure when he was appointed) the management trust for Blenheim Palace.
Those arrangements have not been publicly changed (or at the least, no change has been well publicised). If they are unchanged, then since his grandfather's recent death, he is the owner and manager of the only non-royal palace in Britain.
Even if the arrangements have changed, he is still heir apparent to an estate valued at £100 million, stretching to 11,000 acres (17 square miles), including a 187 room palace grander than many of the royal palaces, plus over 200 other dwellings, with a workforce of over 150 and income of £12 million/year from visitors alone, before adding the farming and other income. He seems more worthy of inclusion than a number of minor royals who we include.

I agree that this article should be retained. I have done some research and sought to show his notability by adding numerous citations from reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide relevant information. It indicates at WP:BIO that: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". -- Blairall (talk) 15:45, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
