Essentially an exclusively genealogical entry with no indication of notability. It has a half-dozen references but they are all either documenting who is related to whom, or the family heraldry, and do not establish that this person has received any coverage as an individual rather than just as a name at a particular place in a pedigree. It had even more genealogy before I removed it. The only non-genealogical/heraldic statements are that his brother gave him some land (which was only used by its uncited source to demonstrate he really was son of his father), and method of demise. If that is all that can be found, he falls well short of the notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:BIO). In short, WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Agricolae (talk) 00:46, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and appears to have never held an office or title that would help with notability. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:39, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nothing in article to suggest that he is independently notable - the mention in his father's article here is sufficient coverage. Dunarc (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
