OK on a genealogy site, but William appears to have done nothing to pass Wp:notability on ours Crusoe8181 (talk) 09:05, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Obviously. As a member of the House of Lords, he clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is considerable contextual value in being able to click through the succession of what may today be considered a relatively minor peerage. Deleting this article would just create pressure to amalgamate the content with the over-arching, preceding and/or succeeding Earls of Dysart articles which would be clumsy and potentially confusing.

Keep per the above and per WP:BEFORE. Seriously, some people need to read WP:N before coming here. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:GNG. The ownership of Ham House make him notable and helps add context to readers of the Ham House article. SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as per above. My own view is that all British peers meet the notability test - and this is an informative and interesting article.45ossington (talk) 18:13, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
