Difficult to see why this particular 'chatelaine' warrants an article for doing precisely what- at a conservative estimate- several hundred other such women do for a 'living' (the business clearly didn't go that well, either, since they're having to sell up after 28(!) generations in residence... not what any custodian of the family pile would wish to be remembered for). Surely by this measure every aristo's wife should get her own article for managing their husband's patrimony? The castle is notable, yes, as is the title- the business element itself? Hardly. This woman's activities would be perfectly sufficient as a paragraph on the castle's article, but hey ho. The whiff of affirmative action hangs in the air, not least because the property is her husband's and HE doesn't have a 'businessman' article on Wikipedia! His name on the baronetcy's article even redirects to this one, which is rum. Still, gets the quotas up I suppose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.196.150 (talk) 19:49, 15 September 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.105.94 (talk) [reply]
Agreed, this article should redirect to the husband, rather than the other way round. She's not notable. What is she notable for? Nothing. He's not notable either -- baronets are not automatically notable -- but he's more notable than she is. If his article is also deleted, the whole thing could be folded into Ripley Castle. cagliost (talk) 11:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated the article for deletion.
By the way, speculation about "affirmative action" and "quotas" is not helpful. If an article is not notable, just say so, and leave it at that. Unfortunately, this sort of speculation can have the opposite effect to that intended. cagliost (talk) 11:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
