She is married into nobility, and does not seem notable as a businesswoman or podcaster. I don't think a redirect to Belvoir_Castle#Present_use would benefit the reader, nor would a merger be Due. She's separated from David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland so I'm not sure a merger there makes sense, and redirecting a woman to her spouse always seems odd to me.

- Merge into her husband's article. This is such a common outcome as an ATD, do I need to link examples or my essay? Bearian (talk) 10:35, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- She is the CEO of Belvoir Castle and runs its commercial activities. She is a published author and podcaster, and highly active on social media, making her on of the nobles with a strong online presence. She is a successful businesswoman and, in my view, there is room for her own page. Although she is separated, in my view, she is slightly more notable then her husband, given the widespread interviews she has given to several outlets throughout the years.

- Keep, meets WP:GNG. There is SIGCOV of her over time in independent, reliable, secondary sources including The Times, the BBC, The Daily Telegraph and the Palm Beach Daily News. I have added some info - there is more in the sources about what she has done to restore, maintain and promote Belvoir Castle (it sounds like a lot more than her husband has done).

- Keep as subject meets WP:GNG. Quick google search shows coverage in The New York Times , The Telegraph, BBC, Leicester Mercury, Shooting UK Spears Magazine People, The Daily Post, The Times, Shropshire Star. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 15:40, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. She meets WP:GNG but the references need improvement. Nineteen of the current 42 are her autobiography and therefore should eventually be removed (along with their claims if not substantiated elsewhere) because to state the obvious they are from a source that is not independent of the subject. I have added a template. Ira Leviton (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
