Delete - I see no reason why this would meet WP:GNG. Insert CleverPhrase Here 02:58, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is Wikipedia - please leave your liberal idealism outside. What matters here is sourcing, often contemporary, especially Debrett's, The Times, Who's Who and as a Cambridge graduate Venn+Venn. I bet that Rms125a-at-hotmail.com hasn't bothered to check those sources, which is just plain lazy. It is irrelevant whether someone "deserves" an article for "working hard from the bottom and contributing to society", versus whether someone "doesn't deserve" an article because they were privileged. Who are you to judge? You can't so rely on the sourcing. Quentin Q. Quackenbush (talk) 05:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean or what your point is. Insert CleverPhrase Here 05:44, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you should familiarise yourself with policies before attempting to !vote? A lot is known about clergymen from the 19th centuries, at the time they held fairly high social statuses were quite well-paid, and often were younger sons of aristos. But if you don't understand the social history, if you don't understand how Wikipedia relies on sources, but you want to pursue some idealistic liberal crusade where you vote to delete an article solely on the basis that its subjcct didn't "deserve" an article ("yeah, that'll teach 'em, the bastards!"), it's not a good idea for your to !vote, is it?

Wow, um you seem to have a very clear idea of what my opinions on the matter are. As you seem to have a lot of edits on wikipedia (6), I am probably too inexperienced even to understand how much my grasp of policy obviously pales in comparison to yours. I am a little confused however, so perhaps you could explain my views on the subject even better for me? Insert CleverPhrase Here 14:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
