What about Hercule Poirot? Seems odd to mention only Miss Marple but not Poirot too. He's admittedly Belgian and a former policeman, but neither seem to exclude him from the gentleman detective tag.

hatnotes
Why does this article use section {{hatnote}}s to format its section leads? To me that de-emphasizes the leads, which location would otherwise emphasize. It invites some readers to skip the leads. (Maybe it fools some mirrors of or selections from wikipedia?). --

headings
1 Early examples of gentleman detectives
2 Famous gentlemen detectives from the "Golden age of detective fiction"
3 Later examples of gentlemen detectives
This is "Gentleman detective" so it certainly isn't necessary to say "examples of g.d." in headings; "examples" is sufficient. Similarly, and also because section 2 begins with a {{main}} link to your article on the Golden Age, it isn't necessary to spell out "Golden Age of d.f." Nor is it necessary to say in the heading that that section covers f. examples. Thus for example,
Amateur detective redirects here, but there are plenty of fictional amateur detectives who are not gentlemen. Either "Amateur detective" needs its own article (my preferred option), or there should be a single article "Amateur detective" with a subsection on gentlemen detectives.

Requested move 23 March 2024
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Gentleman detective →
Amateur detective – Amateur detective redirects here. The current article title is stretched, thus we get nonsense like "The daughter of a clergyman,
Miss Marple is not from the aristocracy or landed gentry, but is quite at home amongst them." Cormoran Strike, not a gentleman. Inspector Morse, neither a gentleman nor an amateur.
