Untitled[edit]

I have removed the prod tag. There are two other articles about this guy - Wolfson Baronets and Leonard Wolfson. The latter has even less information than this article and should be merged here. The former has some information and should be retained but the links all cleaned up to here. Note that the former, but not the latter has the statement, "In 1985, the current 2nd Baronet, Leonard Wolfson, was raised to the peerage as Baron Wolfson, of Marylebone in the City of Westminster" so he must be more notable than just being his father's son. --Bduke 01:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say merge the two for the guy, with any additional information as available. The baronetcy can be deleted, as the only two holders have their own articles. This article was only created a week ago, based on the fact that his son-in-law, Barry Townsley, is involved in a current political scandal. (The Townsley reference was removed from this article as irrelevant.) Another article was also created (and AfD'ed and deleted) for Mrs. Townley, Wolfson's daughter. I'm not British, but I'm guessing that a life peerage is considered notable (his son-in-law has become notable for trying to buy one), and he must have done something to earn it, since he got it 6 years before he inherited the baronetcy.

OK, it seems I am unaware of the WP standards for dealing with British aristocracy. Based on the table in List of Life Barons and Baronesses in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, there is in fact a separate article for the title when someone has a hereditary lordship, so it seems it would be appropriate to keep the Baronetcy article. Note: Need to verify the titles. Is he in fact "Baron Wolfson of Marylebone" but the "Baronet of St. Marylebone? It appears his peerage may be just "Lord Wolfson", as he was installed 6 years before the other Lord Wolfson (Lord Wolfson of Sunningdale) Fan1967 02:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just "Lord Wolfson," not "Wolfson of Marylebone." I believe that the title should be Leonard Wolfson, Baron Wolfson. -- Emsworth

Being bold, I have moved this page to the title above. I have merged what information there was from the Leonard Wolfson page and changed that page to a redirect. I tried moving the Baronetcy article to "Baronet of St. Marylebone" but then discovered there was another historical Baronet of St. Marylebone, so I moved it back to Wolfson Baronets. If I screwed something up, feel free to let me know. Fan1967 00:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disamb[edit]

There isn't an article to disamb against afaik but perhaps we ought to have something in this one so people don't potentially confuse Sir Leonard Gordon Wolfson, Baron Wolfson with Sir David Wolfson, Baron Wolfson of Sunningdale Alci12 18:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the GUS website [1] they are cousins. I've added a note about the other one, with a link that will go to him if ever an article is created. JRawle (Talk) 21:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
