Ethelred, Earl of Fife[edit]
Very short article with little or no context and therefore should be deleted Berserker79 11:32, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Then put it on Wikipedia:Requests for expansion. He appears to be a notable historical figure - deletion is only for where no proper encyclopaedia article could be written or where the existing article has no useful material at all. Keep. Dbiv 12:32, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep pending expansion. Garnered from brief Google search that he is notable, or at least was in his time. Received the title Earl of Fife for "meritorious service". I went ahead and expanded the substub to reflect this. --Smithfarm
- Keep and expand if at all possible. I don't believe the Scots handed out Earldoms like confetti, so he must have done something worthwhile. Average Earthman 14:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I've categorised it. Wincoote 18:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. A valid historic personage. Note that his name is sometimes spelled Aethelred. Katefan0 19:21, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
- * I updated the page to reflect this and added links to the Ethelred and Aethelred disambiguation pages. Hope this isn't jumping the gun; it seems the consensus is to keep him. --Smithfarm
