Possible hoax. I can find no sources predating Dec 2012 for the earldom or any of its holders. Kilopi (talk) 07:12, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - seems an obvious hoax: non-existent county; no sources; new SPA; sea of redlinks; and nothing at all on it in the big wide world. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. Not only is there no evidence of the earldom, and the county name does not exist, there is nothing to link the family with Taplow Court. And for that matter, the supposed current holder Charles Phillip Westgrave is a remarkably retiring man if he exists. I conclude he is a figment of somebody's fevered imagination. --AJHingston (talk) 21:50, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
