Marquis of Tweedale

Currently tagged with {{cleanup-importance}}. This article only tries to describe George Hay, the 8th Marquis of Tweedale. Still, I fail to see how the title "Marquis of Tweedale" is notable enough. Zzyzx11 | Talk 04:42, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Should be moved to George Hay, 8th Marquis of Tweedale and expanded, and the Marquis of Tweedale page made into a dab page for a list of all of the marquises. That's the standard for other British title articles. RickK 20:14, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Looks like someone has mostly fixed this already. Briefly:
  • In the UK, the title is usually Marquess, rather than Marquis.
  • Tweedale is a typo; it should be Tweeddale.
  • Marquis of Tweedale's content should be moved to George Hay, 8th Marquess of Tweeddale. This has been done, but by cut & paste rather than page move; an admin will have to properly merge the histories.
  • Marquis of Tweedale should redirect to Marquess of Tweeddale. This has been done. The latter page lists all the Marquesses of Tweeddale.
• So, leave this as a redirect to Marquess of Tweeddale. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 23:53, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I concur with RickK's fix below. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 22:06, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We now have a cut and paste move. I'm going to delete George Hay, 8th Marquess of Tweeddale, revert Marquis of Tweedale, move it to George Hay, 8th Marquess of Tweeddale, then change the redirect to Marquess of Tweeddale (then fix the markup). RickK 20:58, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Done. RickK 21:05, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
