NN Army Officer. Part of the Arbuthnot walled garden. EliminatorJR 02:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Not a walled garden. Not the first British Arbuthnot to be nominated for afd, none of which have been deleted. Notable for the number of men under his command. In the DNB. Nevertheless expansion would be good. These afds don't allow much time for improvements to be made! - Kittybrewster (talk) 02:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The article's been there for 18 months. I realise a lot of the Arbuthnot clan are notable, but there are limits. EliminatorJR 02:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The guy died in 1899, has had 108 years for his notability to be established, and has failed so far. Misplaced Pages is not a genealogy site--go see the Mormon websites for that. Neither is an encyclopedia a repository site for biographies of every military officer, no matter how minor, who ever existed. Qworty 02:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, seems to be of some importance, but is a copyright violation of . KJS77 02:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Um, that's a Misplaced Pages mirror, which copies information direct from the article that's up for deletion. No copyvio there I'm afraid. EliminatorJR 02:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete a person of some importance? - Kittybrewster (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletions. -- Carom 03:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Wrakest of all possible keepsMild Keep; appears in Oxford DNB. But really, the commander, not of the Indian army, but of the Madras presidency- in peace time!ODNB says commanded end of the Third Burmese War, in succession to Bobs. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: At the moment this page just seems to be a vehicle for linking to other Arbuthnots of equally dubious notability. However as the subject qualifies for listing here Category:Knights Commander of the Order of the Bath (and I expect that list also includes a few of equally dubious notability too) there must be more to say.
