[edit]

Nothing wrong with this as a kickoff. Please improve the grammar and add a reference or two. Ideally, flesh out the Baronet's importance a little more, too. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources?

[edit]

My hypothesis remains that this person is non-notable, but I've attempted to disprove it by finding sources in the usual places. My results so far:

  • Highbeam: nothing, but that's not unexpected. Highbeam mostly covers 1980-present.
  • Oxford DNB: not listed
  • Google News Archives: some hits for "Cecil Bisshopp," but they're for Lord Harmsworth, an early 20th century businessman (birth name Cecil Bisshopp Harmsworth).
  • Google Books: mostly genealogical mixed in with the other Cecil Bisshopps of the line. There are some discussions of Cecil Bisshopp, 12th Baron Zouche, in the context of the barony of Zouche being called out of abeyance.

What's becoming clear to me is that we've had a proliferation of articles written about members of the Bisshopp family (all started by Rudi2004 (talk · contribs)). Cecil Bisshopp, 12th Baron Zouche is one. Sir Cecil Bishopp, 6th Baronet is another. Those people are both notable; the former because he's a peer and the latter because he's a member of parliament. This fellow is neither, and I don't see on what other ground he is notable. Notability is not inherited. Mackensen (talk) 00:35, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
