Zero coverage, fails WP:BIO. British nobles aren't inherently notable, and BEFORE didn't turn up any mention of the John Tottenham who succeeded his father in 2006 in reliable sources. Debrett's as the only source is problematic, since it only namechecks the subject's ancestry. The subject also never sat in the House of Lords, so they cannot qualify for WP:NPOL either. Possible redirect target: Marquess of Ely. Pilaz (talk) 02:05, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • On balance I'd have to say Delete. The time has long passed when people of this background living in other Anglophone countries would get automatic coverage as of right in their adopted country's media. RobinCarmody (talk) 21:55, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
